Hi there. Not a HDC finish but I have a LS150 in violin finish if you are interested? Cognac area.

From the description I don't think there is any doubt that it is a LS150 but for what its worth mine is a 2005 LS150 VF serial number 0509449.

Don't take this the wrong way, but if the top was a laminate I'd expect a little more flame. This guitar looks identical to my 2005 LS150, slightly thicker than usual binding, colour or the inlays etc and the serial number is only 14 out from mine. Hard to see from the photos but the wire may...

Don't be too concerned that your Love Rock isn't considered to be the same quality as the Japanese models. The latter are very high quality indeed and your LS50 should be more than good enough to keep you entertained during your first few years of learning the instrument. Beginners/Far East...

Hi All Just out of curiousity .. When I received my 2005 LS150 I noticed that the guitar seemed to 'wrap around' my body more than my LS65 as if the neck angle was greater. Recently I've been setting them up using the very useful capo on the 7th fret method (with capo on the seventh fret...

Actually he's from Belfast which makes him an Ulsterman and British. :wink:

Hi there. I have two Love Rocks - a LS65 with Gotoh MkIIs and a 2005 LS150 which the UK distributor lists as having 'custom PAFs or Wilkinson' pups. I don't have the equipment to measure the pickups but levels through a VU meter show the LS150s pups as having a little more output than the...

Check this post : http://www.tokaiforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=8992&highlight=150 Without disassembling the guitar things you can easily check are : Nitro finish - it should smell like nitro; Fat 50s neck; lightweight ally tailpiece - tap it ! they feel lighter; CTS pots - c/w stock Japanese...

OK smurf you have a predicament. In your original post you suggested (a) putting humbuckers in your strat (b) paying ?1300 for a LP. There's an awful lot of middle ground in between. Does it have to be a Les Paul or LP replica or is it just the mahogany/humbucker sound you are after? If the...
