I have a guitar from when I turned 16 y.o (1987) My parents told me they got it at a pawn shop in Hollywood Ca. The serial on it is 8 1403. There is no other markings on the head. The tailpiece says "LP-S -made in japan" and the volume pots are stamped 504042. I personally put the seymor duncans in around 1989, replaced the tune-o-matic bridge (it's stamped ibanez I think) and most recently the round rhythm/treble plate. And I also did the crappy soldering job on it and burning my initials into the "bell" plate. (Hey I was a kid) Everything else is original. There's a little chunk missing in the 2nd fret ( I intend to fill with a wood putty) and there are a number of paint dings from the years of toting it around but it sounds great and I love it for sentimental reasons. Anyway, I found this site and it seems like you guys are pretty good at figuring these Japanese guitars out. And who made what.
So please let me know what you think it might be. Thanks!! Here's a few pics of my baby.
