LS144 Gold Top Love Rock 1954 type

[Sigmania]

I just watched the video. In it they say it’s an LS2 R4. The later one with the inlay is called an LS1 R4. That might help in your search.

I couldn't find any infos about this guitar, except for a YouTube video in which it's said it's a very limited edition labeled as LS144.

Your guitar looks like the LS2 R4 in the video.

The LS1 R4 is the one with the inlay, 1 piece body, thin lacquer, and FEB, etc. from 2017 or so.

The LS144 is something else altogether with a standard tailpiece and bridge.

I wonder if the ones labeled “Love Rock” were made for someone besides Faber? I believe the Reborn Old ones are Faber orders?

They sell used guitars too, so might just be that the one in the video they are selling as a used guitar originally made for someone else?

Faber models:

I think the ls-1 is lacquer, the LS-2 is poly but not 100% sure.

Also, LS1= 1 piece back and LS2=2 piece back.
