Hello all,
I'm trying to decide between one of two Tokai models to purchase.
They both cost about $1400.00
The first guitar I'm considering is a 1980 Love Rock LS 60 in great shape. I've been doing some research and this model has the medium length neck tenon and 14 degree headstock angle, and either a 2 or 3 piece mahogany back.
The second guitar I'm considering is a 2014 Love Rock LS 160.
It has the long neck tenon, 18 degree headstock angle, and 1 piece mahogany back.
I prefer the long tenon and 1 piece back on the LS 160 and not sure if the neck angle makes a difference, but on average did Tokai make better guitars back in 1980 compared to current production? I'm just wondering which guitar would be the better deal since they both cost about the same price.
Also, I can't seem to keep my guitars so I'm constantly buying and reselling so resale is a concern.
Which would you go for assuming aesthetics were not an issue? The vintage 1980 Love Rock LS 60 or current 2014 LS 160?
Thanks for your advice.
