I like to share my beautiful latest purchase with you guys. I think she's quite a looker and the nice thing is she changes face when viewed from different angles.
She's a fairly early 1981 model and the odd thing is that the 1981 catalog doesn't feature VF finish for the LS100, that starts in 1982.
Here's some specs:
-Solid figured/flamed 2P maple top
-1P maho back (with some burn marks
)
-Nitro finish
-Very dark rosewood fretboard with feb & nice with the top matched yellow inlays
-weight 4.17 kg or 9.19 lbs
-nut width 43.71 mm or 1.72 inch
-neck thickness at 1st fret 23.01 mm or 0.905 inch
-neck thickness at 11th fret 25.17 mm or 0.991 inch
-factory installed DiMarzio PAFs, RDC; neck 7.73, bridge 7.79
Acoustically she's mellow & crisp sounding, very nice. I normally don't like DiMarzio's (too dry & pushy) but these seem to complement the guitar very well.
If you're wondering; I changed the ugly greenish tuners for Klusons with Uncle Lou's. Also changed the alu TP for a Faber alu locking TP, the original one was too much worn. The Faber locking bridge did make her sound worse (less life), so she's still got the original one.
Yes, I know I talk too much, here's the pics:
