Thought I'd share a couple of pics I shot this morning of my 85 LS60... 8)

Thanks... ! It's in excellent condition. Played very often but with care 8)

I've had great luck with Rio Grande... especially the BBQ Bucker and Genuine Texas!

Congrats on a great find at an incredible price! Looks similar to my 85 LS60 but without the FMT.... http://www.tokaiforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=24854&highlight=#24854

Here's a link to my 85 LS60... you can use the pics to compare them to yours. You can see a definitive line where the veneer joins the maple cap. Sometimes it's hard to see. Your 83 may indeed be solid. http://www.tokaiforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=24854&highlight=#24854

Something to ponder... Too much oil on any fret board (Ebony or Rosewood) will cause the board to swell and may possibly "pop" a few frets. An overly dry fret board will cause the wood to shrink and cause the fret tangs to push out. It may also cause the binding to dislodge or crack if the...

Outstanding! 8)

Are the pup covers and tailpiece aluminum on these? They appear to be chrome plated and the tailpiece is not lite enough to be aluminum... thanks in advance.... 8)

Practically mint ... I just finished a fret leveling and polish when I took these shots. It's really an incredible piece! Thanks for all the info you guys provided or I would have never purchased it! Beautiful board! head stock front and back Pup cavity and 57 PAFs Top

I guess you don't like my 68 reissue custom then... :D I hear what your saying... what's another man's garbage is another man's treasure!

Thanks guys! 8)

So... Does anyone know what the standard issue nuts were made of? It appears that the newer Korean models are plastic.

Does anyone know what the 81-85 LS60 nuts are made of? ... Insert joke here! Seriously... The one on my 85 appears to be bone or something of a similar consistency. I can't tell for sure if it's been replaced or not. Did they change the material over the years? thanks!

I just got around to reading this thread... my condolences. I know what it's like to get that sick feeling in the pit of your belly when you see your prized guitar take a tumble. I had something similar happen to my Gibby SG 61 reissue! Let us know how the repair turns out....

Hey Joe.... let me know if you're serious about selling your LS 85Q! Congrats on a beautiful LS200 8) Thanks! Chuck

Thanks Hans~! I haven't gotten around to taking any pics yet.... I'll be sure to take a few and post them shortly. Yes... it's a flame top. Like I said... this thing is mint! It appears that it was truly kept under a bed in its case for quite some time. Do you feel $400.00 US was a fair...
