The serial number tells us it was made in 2018.
Looking at the 2018 catalog
Tokai 2018 Catalogue Vol.30 - Vintage Japan Guitars
we see two plain tops.
LS196 has lacquer finish and MK2 pickups, CTS pots, orange drop cap.
LS129 has poly finish and MK2S pickups.

Open it up. What caps and pots does it have? What pickups (probably labeled)?
Do that first. If that isn’t conclusive you can test the finish in an out of the way spot.
Btw, what is that dark line down the top of the guitar?

Looks like the pots & caps aren't helping us much.
Most likely a 2018 LS129VF so far.
Do you have any pics of the back of the pickups? These often had a white paper label.
