It's not an 84

Take a pickup out and photograph the top through the cavity please - should answer your question about what it's made of, and will tell us if it's an 85Q too.
Hello again;
I took out pickups, Tokai 57 PAF is written on them. One piece mahogany at back. One piece neck. Excuse me for the quality of pictures, i do not have a well quality camera. Can you please support your ideas instead of just saying this is this. For instance according to what you are saying "It's not an 84"
Best wishes;

There wasn't an oak finish quilt top in 84 - it's as simple as that. Go to the catalog section - while there is no catalog for 94, there is one for 95 with an LS70 quilt top that comes in oak:

The Tokai 57 PAFs suggest it's an 84; you might have a rare one there! Pics are very blurry so it's hard to tell if the top is a laminate, but you've definitely got a maple cap, so you can really ignore the laminate question - it's irrelevant to the tone and resonance.
Marcus, look at the top - it's quilt, but nowhere near the insane level of quilt the newer laminates have. The pickups suggest the '84 serial is correct too. If it's right, it could have been a special order.

I have seen another one like this, from memory it was earlier {80-81} and it was a quilt top as well. The catalogues are only a guide, there were models produced that were not in the catalogues, thats what makes it hard to identify Japanese guitars. I also have a gold top that is in no catalogues.

Thanx guys. I was just wondering the exact model.
But whatever it is, this is a dreamy guitar. It sounds perfect, neck is comfortable, craftmanship is great. I always buy and then sell the guitars but this seem like to be permanent.
