I bought a Tokai Love Rock on eBay.

Using the dating guide on this forum, it looks like a 2003 or a little later, judging by the truss rod cover and stamp on the rear of the headstock 'Made in Korea' There is no serial number.

However, there isn't a dimple on the open-book headstock! Could this be a model made for the local market and not for export?

The colour I guess is Cherry Sunburst and it has a '60's neck profile. The neck is made of Maple and the body looks like Alder with a Maple cap and a super-thin flame veneer. I guess that the model is an ALS48?

The bridge and stoptail are heavy and chromium-plated.
