Hi,
My local distributor offers the following brand new Made in Japan for $1000:
  • LS 126 BSLS 129 VF
  • LS 129 GT
  • LS 136F BS
  • LS 139F LD
  • LS 139F VF

All have the same specs (so I don't really know how is 126 different from 129, 136 and 139 :():

Body: 2-Piece Mahogany
Top: Flamed Maple
Neck: One Piece Mahogany Set-Neck
Fingerboard: Rosewood
Bridge: LS-VB, LS-VT Tailpiece
Pickups: 2x PAF MK2S (the distributor says MK2 are Gotoh and not Keyio - this is good, right?)
Electronics: 2x Volume, 2x Tone, 3-way Switch
Inlays: Dish, Pearl
Hardware: Chrome

What's your opinion on that? Thanks!
Regards, /e
 
8) in japan, the tokai model# means usually the list price of the guitar. so if its LS129 then its list price is 129000 yen. if $1USD lately is 100 yen then LS129 is about $1290+ in usa. so if your LS129 is only $1000 in usa as new then it seems the right price or ok price i think. the current japanese sales tax is 10% from 2019.
