"MIJ" Bargain of the day!

[mono]

i see quite a dark (?repair) line going down the bass side of the 'volute' - do you see what I mean?

 

[duff]

yeah it's a repair with a volute, it's in the description, atleast thats what i make of it. Sure is a nice top.

 

[reborn old]

It might be a good value for someone who can assess the repair in person,
but quite a gamble for overseas purchasers, I would think.

 

[Lumi71]

looks more like a solid top for me. too unregular for a veneer.
also i think you can see some slight hint of the flaming in the cavity.
didnt the ls100 come with dimarzio pus?

this looks more like a refretted ls80 .

 

[reborn old]

LS-80's were never offered in that "unburst" color or with that much figuring in 1981.

 

[Udonitron]

Volute looks decent however.
Huge heel and it looks to have been well played and loved.

 

[Thomas/Sweden]

Wonder what what stamp there is on the fretboard.

Anyway, here's a LS100F VF in Europe, Italy.

1981 so probably doesn't have a stamp
my money is on LS100 with neck repair which the description seems to suggest. that top is solid and the finish is like Reborn Old's 100 - 'unburst'
Has had a refret at some point and is a bit weight at 4.4kg and pricey for my tastes.

 

[Thomas/Sweden]

I asked Tak and he confirmed it doesn't have a stamp. It's a 2 piece flame maple top and nitro according to him.

Here is a Heerby you don't see very often. Beautiful looking top on it.

That one jumped to a really high price (too high for me haha) really fast. it went from 52K Y to 100K Y overnight. There was no movement on it for a while and then bam.

Dimarzio PAF creme pair found on 1980-85 Tokai LS-100 => LS-200 models.
Greco 1000 examples woulld have had black bobbins, metal covers and those Dimarzio decals on covers.
A very reasonable US price for a matched pair that usually measure 7.25 to 7.5 k ohms.
Not to be confused with later 80's examples that had model # engraved at plate base below Dimarzio name.
Poles look a bit rusted but otherwise good cond. I have no idea what international shipping would be.
No affiliation to the seller, who is unknown to me.

It's only metallic blue, man. The green ones are worst

 

[Whoopysnorp]

That Bacchus was on sale in the classifieds here for a while. Guess it never sold. Tempting, or it would be if I weren't in the midst of attempting to buy a house.

 

[wulfman]

At 53,500 yen this Fujigen NCLC-20E would have been a good deal for someone looking for an ebony-board custom with real MOP inlays and top-coat of lacquer.

It's a good thing I already have a nice bunch of guitars, because I won't be buying any more gear for a long time.
