Thinking of selling the wife and putting the kids out to work to get that. I think I wouldnt get to much for the wife but I am hoping the kids would fill the gap.

WOW

If Carlsberg made guitars.....................they'd be made like this

Can't help it, quilt tops don't speak to me.

Nor me.

Ebony fret board which is something different. Does the ABR look a little high off the top?

LOL to andyp81

I don't believe that is an ebony board; I think it's just dark.

Grovers with no additional holes, so those look original. No PC board, but I suspect it had one originally. Almost looks like it was a not-quite-200.

My only complaint is the really crappy job on the neck inlays. Must have been training a new monkey - I don't get that on such a nice guitar. :roll:

Hmm all 1984-1985 LS-150s I have seen so far have stock Grovers (those are older ones btw, I thought Grover changed shape in 1982?) and an ebony board. Looks ebony to me for sure.

Nope. 1985 LS150 with Gotoh - Kluson-like - tuners and rosewood board. So, there's at least one..

If that's rosewood then its been dyed, stained or painted.

Indeed, you're right, found several with rosewood and Kluson.

Hmm shop order then maybe? There are at least 6 with ebony & Grovers so far.

My LS-320 has a rosewood fretboard which is very dark, almost black and I have seen others similar. It is specified as Brazilian rosewood. I don't believe it's been dyed.

Just a thought ...... Usually the logo on the headstock is gold?

 

[wulfman]

I thought that was only for LS-200s?

 

[CliffsGuitarWorld]

Ahhhhh

 

[jacco]

What about your 150 Harold, that one has the cashew coloured logo, right?

 

[wulfman]

It is not golden or amber. Just regular MOP color.

 

[villager]

Only Ls200 cashew finish...

 

[wishbonz]

Whilst on the headstock logos - I have a couple of early 1980 LP Reborns and one Reborn Old, they all have the 'logo' as part of the laminate, yet my '80 LS200 (Love Rock) has the pre-80 type traditional 'inlayed' amber logo. Any thoughts on that one?
