I have been interested in a Tokai for a long time and today I was able to make that happen.
I traded for an LS-70, and I'd just like to hammer down some details as far as what I've got in my hands.
I don't know how to post pictures here, but...

So...can you help me with a couple of things:
1-Is the truss rod cover original? I understand that this is an MIJ but my research leaves me unclear about the three hole cover.
2-The SN is 9520XXX. Am I correct that this is a 1995?
3-Do the electronics look original?
Anything else that I can learn would be greatly appreciated.
I play a few mahogany LP-style solidbodies including Les Pauls (Gibson Trad Pro, Studio, and Trib...Edwards 98, and an Epi), an '81 Ibby Artist and a Yamaha SBG700s. This one is pretty impressive; quite a player.
I am not generally a quilt top fan, but...I'm not thinking I'm going to trade this guitar unless it's for another of the same with a different top.
Thanks so much folks.
