    New Jap LS60 & LS65 LR's - how do you differentiate?

    The LS65 is likely to have the more attractive plain top? The reason i'm asking is because The Rhythm House are getting a few brand new ones from the UK Tokai factory next week, how could i tell if was getting the LS60 "outta the box" rather than a LS65? okay maybe im just paranoid? :D

    Love rock nut width question

    Anyway, on a review of a Love Rock from 1984 on the review section of this site, it says scale length 25.4", width at nut 1.65", compared to 24.75 and 1.68 of Gibson. *tut tut* and i thought the dimensions were identical? unless they have changed?
