Dear everyone,
Last Sunday I bought a (hopefully real!!) MIJ Love Rock and ow my god; it's superb! Hands down the best Les Paul I've owned and played. Last year I've really tried to learn more about Tokai and played different Chinese, Korean and Japanese models. And for now every Japanese Tokai I've played had the "wow" factor.
As for my own Love Rock I got curious about what exact model it could be. The previous owner sold it as a LS100, but there's where your expertise comes to play. Can you guys help me out?
For what I can see:
-One piece back,
-No model number in the pickup cavity's (It does seem to look like a sticker is missing),
-No CTS potentiometers ("made in Japan" written on the pots),
-Unsure if it's a switchcraft pickup switcher (I can't see it unless I take it out),
-Looks like a full maple cap, no veneer (the photo isn't really clear)
Well, I guess that's all I know. Here's some pictures (click for bigger). Hopefully you guys can help me out!
Thanks a lot in advance!
