Who did the translating?
Someone named Google. LOL
Obviously, it takes some interpretation at times to understand and it struggles to read hand writing at times.
It was a huge production to put together the early catalogs.
The 1982 catalog was epic.
Spring 1982 catalog says "cashew" in the description of the ES150R (see below).

I'm not blind. I know the 81 ES150 is spec for cashew. lol
I am interested in how to test a guitar in hand to verify it is actually Cashew. By smell, or some kind of chemical test. Or someway to test the finish to verify it is actually Cashew. Something besides the amber color on the binding and logo.
What Ohms do those read?

I haven't checked my own examples, but found this in my research on the various humbuckers offered in Tokais:
Neck: 7.69k
Bridge: 8.21k
Here is the thread I was working on:

That was with ref to ES models and not SG's as they always had the crown/flowerpot from 82<86.
I found that the other day. Thanks.
You weren't kidding when you said, "my guitar". That is my guitar. Do you have a link to that thread?
And what is the N in the model # "ES-150R N"
I found the link in the pickup thread of the auction. My seller got a good deal on that guitar. Thank you so much for that. You are the man. The more History I can have on my guitar, the better. I am so grateful!
I am very interested in J's too
Looks like it was an ES100J.
Same original seller in Japan possibly? The tan chamois cloth beneath the pickups....
One of the flametops in the flametop LS gallery thread has a simialr pic of its pickups.

57's no stickers again. As I wrote on the SG thread, stickers seem not to be part of the qc process 🤷♂️
