According to headstock motif it has to be mid/late 1981. I have a 1981 ES that has no motif but I have seen several with it..... If 1980 it should have an 110 engraved on last fret and an oval sticke i f 1981 |

81 tokai lc 110. I would have expected different tuners, but there arent many 110’s out there so not sure. The lc100’s had wafflebacks..(but also diamond inlay so who knows..)
Tailpiece also looks exchanged for a newer one..
I would buy that! Let me know if you don’t  |

Hello duff. Thank you for your link.
Ebony exists in different variations. This is obviously a piece of Macassar Ebony. Very appreciated in furniture today, and very vivid in it's brown/dark contrasts. But I agree it's very different looking than Gaboon Ebony (for example). |

Yeah i know, but it’s weird the ebony on this one is completely different from the one on my lc-100 and on the es-150’s.. i always thought ebony was denser.. the grain on this one looks more like regular rosewood..
I’m no expert.. just saying it’s different on mine and that it’s weird they used different kinds on basically the same guitar. |

I like striped ebony. I'm not big on the 3 pickup Les Paul however. That one looks very nice. Good luck. |

No problem Duff San, you are welcome and you taking part in this discussion was appreciated from myself.
Little update on the thread. The deal is done, this guitar will shift owner in june. I must reserve a plane ticket to go and snatch her. I let you be informed. |

Hi guys,
This LC-110 is from MY1982. The headstock inlay was only used in the 1982 Model Year ( Oct-81 to Oct-82)
I can't make out the first number, the 2nd is '0' 3rd is unclear and the last 4 are legible. It's almost like an owner was trying to replicate the 1960 Gibson serial number pattern.
regards

Hello Peter,
Thank you for your input. I only come checking into this forum occasionnaly because he's quite quiet.
We will probably have an incoming update because I bought this guitar. Maybe a little lot of work to do on it to become her clean, but I don't care. It will be a good project for the upcoming winter time. |

http://www.wood-database.com/macassar-ebony/ Stunning guitar Harima San .Maccassar ebony is a beautiful and very expensive tonewood.Sharing as it does some of the tonal qualities of Brazilian rosewood It makes a very attractive and toneful wood for high end acoustics too. _________________ bluejeannot

The Sheppard looks gorgeous. Even if I'm well married to my Guild accoustic, this one looks interesting too.  |
