I do live in Tbay. I have a 79 Les Paul Reborn and bought my son an 82 Love Rock for his 17th birthday. I've also had a tokai AT 67 tele and j2oo. I've not seen many Love Rocks here and wondered about the lack of serial # Still might give it a test drive.
I know it's tough to tell when SOMEONE PAINTS OVER THE HEADSTOCK! But does this look like a legit korean tokai?

Wow..I haven't been here in months, but this thread lives on! Cool. Glad it stirred up denate and some answers. I actually discovered there is another 79 LP Reborn in my hometown up here in "bleakest Canada." And they really are sisters,although my burst is a bit brighter. I'll try and find...
Thanks Mick 51. Appreciate the help.
I realize asking this next question can create stormy forum waters..but what have these been selling for lately? Roughly? :)
Doesn't say Love Rock...and the seller say its an 1983 tokai LP custom?
Thoughts?

Here is a tokai love rock on Canadian kijiji..apparently 1995,1996 with bolt on neck. Anybody know much about these? $400 seems ok..but he won't ship.

I had a brain fart.It is the neck ring that is broken.
DaveWW,thanks for the links.
Koubayashi, your offer is most generous.I'd be happy to pay you postage etc. Do you have paypal?

Here are a couple pics...
I got the 1600 number from this youtube video..which I think all you reborn, reborn old, and love rocks fans will likely appreciate.

So about 5000 Reborn's each year! Impressive. Can I assume most of these guitars would still be in Japan?
BTW..does this case look like a tokai or something else? There is no tokai brown tag on the side,but it came with the guitar from Japan.
