Question is, do I import a new LS-65 (still Japanese made as far as I can tell, but the one with a plain top) or bid on an old LP Reborn (most turning up on Ebay seem to be LS-50s). In either case, I won't be able to try before buying.
So what do you guys reckon regarding playability/tone/build quality/etc?

The wood quality was better couple of decades ago. That time it took longer for trees to grow big and that makes them more close-grained. Today pollution makes them grow faster and that makes big difference.
Look at anything made of 50 years ago and compare it to something made of todays wood and you really can see a difference so probably you can also hear it.
