お問い合わせの件でございますが、HLSはヒビキさんからの特注オーダー仕様のモデルですので、
社内で通常モデルと区別する為、LSの前にHを付けております。
また、59ピックアップはヒビキさん企画のピックアップですので、弊社の製品ではございません。

8) i emailed tokai-japan and asked them about the HLS guitars. the HLS guitars were originally the special-ordered LS/LC/etc guitars by the HIBIKI company who is the distributer of tokai guitars in japan. those HLS guitars and all were purely made by tokai-japan and usually have the very high specifications. like their 59 pickup. its a more vintage styled pickup made by tokai for HIBIKI. anyways, on many forums, it seems that the people often call HLS as HISTORIC-LS. i asked tokai-japan about this if its really officially so, their answer was NO! tokai says it only means HIBIKI-LS and its for the hibiki special ordered guitars. the 59 pickup is also the hibiki's product and its not the tokai-japan official product. the email from tokai-japan is above. hope you can translate it exactly! now we clearly know that there isnt the "HISTORIC" series in the tokai-japan catalog officially.
