LS55 and 65 Models From The 1990s

[Sigmania]

I think I am gong to start documenting these.

I once had one of these and could not tell if it was MIJ or Korea. I have seen a mixture of parts on them and have wondered if there was a period where Tokai tried having part of the guitar or parts sourced in Korea.

Will see what the evidence shows.

Apparently a flamed sycamore laminate over a maple cap and mahogany neck & body.

The mahogany neck has some nice curly grain to it.
