I have a 80s Burny RSA-? on the way. Top and back are mildly flamed. Any idea what model numbers came with flame Maple? Seller thought it was a '85 RSA-100, but the split "flower" inlay and truss rod cover with "wings" indicates '87 or later to me. Bought for a very nice price in my opinion...

The trapezoid inlays on my 80s SG were badly scorched afer steam pressing to straighten a twisted neck. Anyone had success/perfect match replacing with precut inlays from say Stuart McDonald or another source?

and tonal complexity compared to their other Les Pauls or MIJ clone? After having put my recently acquired 130 LTS through it's paces, compared to my Tokai LS200, it's a bit lean on the low end. The tone is more airy and light and not as authoritative as the Tokai. I've swapped the same set of...

I'm completely blown away by this guitar! CTS 500K pots, quality caps, 100% nitro laquer, Duncan Antiquities and 7.5 pounds! A definite contender to my Tokai LS200.

There's a "black top" finish Edwards on Ebay. Back is transparent/natural rather than black. Is this a refinished top maybe? http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-Edwards-ESP-LP-STD-BLACK-TOP-DUNCAN-PU-S-USED_W0QQitemZ120190295194QQihZ002QQcategoryZ33038QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Did the Lacquer Taste Series Les Pauls ever come with open coil Duncans? Just got one used off Ebay. The seller listed it as a 98LTS, but when I received the guitar I found the covers weren't soldered on the pickups and there was no evidence to suggest they ever were soldered. I believe the...

The number in the pickup cavity reads-130178. No other serial numbers on the guitar. Grey pickup wire with brass back plates. 3 piece back, 1 piece neck with headstock wings, but no heel cap. Poly cherry burst finish. 2 piece top with flame veneer. Seller thought it was a early 80s RLG 90, but...

I have one on the way and was wondering about the specs. Anyone know the specs, i.e. body wood, pickups, etc...?

Are the dimension the same with MIJ and MIA hardware, specifically bridges and tailpieces? I need to replace the cheap potmetal hardware on a '82 Tokai SG.

Just got an early 80's SG. The bridge and tailpiece seem to be made of potmetal? Did most of the beginner/mid-level guitars use potmetal hardware?

Just picked up a nicely worn late 70's/early 80's SG from Ken/Seikosuru on E-bay. :D Anyone ever played the old SG's? I don't recall ever seeing these mentioned here?! The serial number that is pressed onto the back of the headstock starts with a 2. I'm assuming it was manufactured in'82? Anyone...

I've put my MIK Love Rock up for auction. Has a '57 Classic w/reverse magnet and a Lindy Fralin. Got a LS-200 so now I'm selling the MIK to fund a Tele. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP.dll?ViewItem&item=3704478165

Here's some pics http://photos.yahoo.com/peacock72 I'm really surprised, because my MIK LE 2001 is holding it's own against the LS-200, at least as far as playability and tone goes. I have a 57 Classic and Lindy Fralin in the MIK, BTW. But the quality and materials on the LS-200, WOW. I'm in...

How does the ebony fretboard affect the tone? Are the differences subtle, compared to rosewood, or is it very easily distinguished?

Is there a way to tell what model a particular Love Rock is by the serial number? i.e. LS-80, LS-150, etc... Any other ways of differentiating models?

Are any of the older Love Rocks finished in Nitro? Or is it just the new 200 and 300 series that sport a Nitro finish?

Aside from degree of flame on the tops, are there any other differences between the different reborn models i.e. 60, 80, etc... Do the lower spec models have 2-3 piece backs opposed to 1 piece, etc...Do the reborns have nitro or poly finishes?

Anyone own or ever play one of the older 80's SG-60's? They seem to be pretty affordable. Does the "equal or better than Gibson quality" apply to these guitars as well? Thanks.
