Brilliant, thanks Dave!
So I have an LS50 from 1985 that was purchased in the UK by me a few years later new in a shop in Chichester who declared that they had had it in stock for a few years.
It "may" be one of a few with a solid back - very hard to tell.
All these little differences are hard to keep up with - especially when reading post's that are not always clear in which country the guitar or poster reside - which has a lot of import as to the specs.
I like it here.

ps, Peter, hope I have not derailed your initial question too much, but the responses may have helped both of us!
