Model ID of Love Rock Les Paul - usual question!

[Chesterreddragon]

Hi folks
I'd really appreciate some help identifying the exact model of this little stunner. Serial number 0712940 (07 build), zebra pups, unbound neck, beautiful finish (almost 3d).

Thanks for any advice given.

No thoughts anyone?

well since no one else is chiming in i'll take a guess, from your one picture it looks like a LS-105Q to me but its a made for the U.K. model and i don't have much knowledge of them. If it isn't the LS-105Q then it would be the lower model LS-75Q ?? or there abouts. More pictures would be nice of the back etc. Also if you take out the pups some of the LS guitars have the model # stamped in the cavity. Hope this helps.

Does the back of the headstock have a "Made in Korea" ink stamp ?

Does it have a maple neck by any chance ?
If yes to both, it is an LS-50 Q


If the back of the headstock is stamped "Made in Japan" with a 2 piece mahogany back, it is an LS-90 Q.
If the back of the headstock is stamped "Made in Japan" with a 1 piece mahogany back, then it's an LS-135Q or LS-145Q possibly.

LS90 it is, the higher models didn't come unbound

Which year did China begin base model production again Jacco ?

Didn't production of the standard series move from Korea to China around 2005/6?

Hi all
Thanks for your helpful posts. It's a MIJ (stamped on the back of the headstock) and has a 2 piece back. Looks like possibly an LS90Q then. I'm going to restring it soon so I'll take out the pups and have a look for a model number. I'll also take some further pics and post them.

What I can say is it's a wonderful guitar to play (as well as to look at) and the pups are very powerful, more so than the ones on my 1981 ES100R. Looking forward to the weekend when I get to warm up the valves and turn things up to 10 for a few hours.
