Appears to have a center seemed neck, is that proper?

The earliest '78's got a 2 piece neck or so i've heard.

Sorry i didn't elaborate, Curry nailed the model already, its genuine 100% Tuners look swapped out though. That happens.

ls50, and a nice one. the 50 and 3 piece top are easy identifiers. 78 was a great year

dont worry about the tuners, the original double ring arent the greatest (not bad either) to begin with and those grovers are probably better.

I am pretty sure 78 was a great year, but I was only 2 years old at the time...hahahahahahaha

you getting the haze on the headstock as well? i want to say that virtuoso guitar polish stuff helped a little with mine.

I wasnt even alive in 78. I meant the 78 year tokai.. like a 72 cuda or 59 burst.
