LS-140F

RocknBlues · Dec 27, 2009

Looks like the LS-125F/135F is now a LS-140F :roll: :-?
And All other numbers have changed too, so now we have a price rise as well as more confusion.

Sorry for jumping the old thread up.

Speaking about F-models, numbers and serial numbers. I just got a very, very beautiful flame top Love rock. It was sold to me as a new LS125F VF and there is LS125F stamped on the box. However its serial number starts with 09xxxxx. They still made 125f:s last year and should this be same guitar than 140f today?

The guitar have Gotoh tuners and aluminium tailpiece etc but I am not sure is it lacquer finished. The finish doesnt differ that much from my LC95. Is there easy way to check this? I'll check the "deep" tenon also.

We're still getting all sorts of weird and wonderful numbers on the guitars/boxes.

Just received in 1 x Tokai LS80 VF (according to the invoice from Tokai UK)

The current model name for this is: LS92.

Guess what it says says on the Tokai box when we opened it up??????!?!

LS75

WHAT THE **%&$(* :evil:

:roll: This is a familiar argument :roll: 8)

Back to the Question by Karppi, If it has an 09 S/N it SHOULD :roll: be an LS135F :lol: :lol: 8)

But others here will probably argue that piont :roll: :wink:
