Looking for info on '15 HLS-LW model

jim777 · Oct 23, 2019

Hey folks,

I just bought an HLS-LW (2015 model) from Ishibashi, and was wondering if anyone knew anything about that model? It looks to be based on the HLS-240SF guitar, with uncovered pickups, no pickguard, and the "reborn old" logo. Just wondering if anyone could confirm the HLS-240 part. The guitar is still in transit so I cannot tell if it is a 4 piece top or a two piece top. It has a 1 piece back and 1 piece neck though.

Thanks!
