I had my people on the ground in Japan view the Studio102 1980 LC-110 for 468,000 Yen. There is a crack in the neck at the headstock and massive worming on the back..... So, if you're looking for a LC-110... mine is the deal.

Thank you, Cliff - I almost pulled the trigger on this one.

There are other stores - notably KOMEHYO in my experience - that ignore the facts and overstate the condition. In the KOMEHYO case, there were supposed to be 80% of frets remaining whereas there was none in the middle of the neck. The guitar itself was great and refret did the trick, but in this price range and "B+" description I would expect a bit more honest rating by the seller (in this particular case, LC 110 and 468,000 Yen). A crack in the neck is definitely an issue worth mentioning.

There is a crack in the neck at the headstock

Is it a hairline finish stress crack or did it snap off?

Possibly shown here:

Amazing pic in the 1981 catalog.

Looks like people got really baffled by this one in the past.

Ebony can absolutely have lighter streaks.

People tend to use the al black color, but it occurs with streaks as well.


Probably a true LC-110 of around 1980. Your opinion ?
