The LS-320 arrived today, a day late after being mis-routed to Seattle :roll:
Just wanted to post a few pics & then it will be time for some evaluations over the course of the next week or two
The maple top is stunning; the photos do not do the top any justice at all.
Weight is 9 lb. - 3 oz., weighed on a digital scale, sans pick guard.
Here's the previous thread

Center is darker than the photos; color around the edges looks like rusted orange (no red at all) and is slightly lighter than the photos
Notice the tops of the pot knobs are all unlevel, knob tops leaning in different directions :roll:
Top color is closer to a 'teaburst' than anything that I can think of, or can reference
The (large) frets are perfect & the Brazilian feels like silk under the fingers
Inlay work is sloppy but the Brazilian 'board is Heavenly 8)
NO LS-320 stamp here on my example, as compared to next photo
Here's a cherry burst example WITH the LS-320 stamp in the neck pup route
Sorry, not mine...............
