Tokai serialnumber 1533598

[Snarf]

Hello,

I just bought a Tokai Loverock in Honey Burst colour with serialnumber 1533595. On the back of the guitar (neck) it says 'made in Japan'.
I would like to know a few things
-Which year was this guitar build (2015?)
-Which serie is this guitar?
-What is it worth?

Thanks in advance
Snarf

Congrats.

We can’t tell much from the serial number other than yeah, it was built in 2015.

We need to see some pictures

Here’s how to post them:

I added some pictures and I am very curious which modell my guitar is and what the original pickups were.
The guitar now has bare knuckle true grit pickups and the seller didn't send me the original pickups.

Thanks for your reply

Looks like a 2015 LS128F LD (Lemon Drop).

Looks like a 2 piece center seam mahogany back, so the top would be a maple veneer over a maple cap.

The model names change over time as prices increase.

LS128F was available in 2015.

In 2018 it was called an LS136F.

In 2010 it was an LS98F.

In 2003 an LS70F.

Very popular guitar.

Attaching a pic from the 2018 catalog.

The original pickups would have been the MK2-S.

Here's a thread on them:
