I want to buy a Love Rock (my first LP style instrument) and need help to understand which models I should consider-- I am looking for a player-- NOT a decoration....
This is my wish list in order of priority:
1. FAT CHUNKY neck (a la '57 or '58)
2. Long Neck Tenon
3. Big round frets (the bigger the better)
I'd consider vintage, recent, or brand new- hell-- I'd even buy a new one and ship it here. I have too many questions to list here, and my guess is that becasue the model "names" are roughly tied to the new selling price in yen-- well "spec" must have changed considerably-- like an '85 LS80 is likely a much better instrument than an '03 LS80-- Is that correct???
I found an '03 LS-80 and the seller claims the guy he bought it from "told" him it has the long tenon, but after I tracked down the original seller in Japan who suggested I consider a new LS120, claiming that is currently the least expensive model w/ the long tenon.
But the MOST IMPORTANT thing to me is big FAT neck.
ADVICE & SUGGESTIONS PLEASE
