Hi, unfortunatley a headstock repair was carried out adding an extra layer of paint/lacquer which means all of the numbers cant be made out, i do remember the Luthier who repaired it quoted on his paperwork something like LS70. neck pickup was replaced and a refret with jumbo frets also the original nut was brass that was replaced with bone.Hey there and welcome.
It would help a lot to see a picture of the back of the headstock showing the serial number.
That will confirm the date it was made.
Also, if there is a black oval sticker with a 60 or 100 that would give us the model.
It did have fret nibs which were removed during the refretHi, unfortunatley a headstock repair was carried out adding an extra layer of paint/lacquer which means all of the numbers cant be made out, i do remember the Luthier who repaired it quoted on his paperwork something like LS70. neck pickup was replaced and a refret with jumbo frets also the original nut was brass that was replaced with bone.
Hi I’ll be restringing soon so l ll have a look then, thanks very much for the help so farWeirdly enough, here is one from 1985 without any of the bling and yet it is marked as an LC65-JS in the pickup compartment.
I would check under the pickups for model codes.
Rare 1984 Tokai LC65-JS John Sykes 3 Ply Cream/Aged White with original 57 PAFs. Nice case | Reverb
