I have one and its made by chushin.

Did you test top or back for nitro? I heard the top is an acrylic lacquer (wich also reacts to acetone)on the gold top but poly on the back and neck.

Sold.

Well not really but thats what they were first known as. deal out side of Ebay much cheaper. Located in Aus. http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/181677515672?nav=SELLING_ACTIVE

Point being that your guitar is a 2000 ls70F Veneer flame top.

In the photos you linked in the neck pickup cavity is a ls 70F stamp. Your guitar is an Ls 70F. 1980 there was only an Ls 70 gold top with p90 pickups.

Also F means flamed top but veneered.

No such thing as a 70f in 1980.

Pretty sure thats 2000 model not 1980.

Same as yours I guess..sen ash. Looks like its been refinished and a strat pup in the neck. Haven't got it yet. listing said there was no extra routing done except the pick guard was cut to fit the pick up. Have to wait and see.

Some nice grain in that one congrats. I just bought one last week.

Koiz has this Springy. 1978 plate St80 in the cavity, no date or colour code above the st 80, 60 on the board and a serial close to Udo's. Pic of the neck end and pocket would be good. If the guitar is all original then the transition stuff was still happening around 8003810...

Fine grained ash can be hard to see a seam sometimes but easy to see any join around the outside so some back end shots would be better. sure looks 1 in those pics.

Reborn, If you can find a Dec neck from 1980 with the hex TRC then quite possibly Udo's is 1980. If you can find a 1979 without a model board stamp then yes it can Dec 1979. There are 78 examples of strats with no board stamps. Is it possible that a DEC stamped neck would have no board model...

No definitely 1982 the 4 digit serial started. How does the string tree differ? 1978 springy. Yours.
