In 2002 forum member "Peter Mac" responded to member "Ochay"'s inquiry about serial number 9203465 (which Ochay was considering buying). The two referred to the guitar as an LS-65, but neither member was the guitar's owner, so they may have made assumptions or relied on the seller's description. Can anyone confirm the guitar is an LS-65?, or know anything about this serial number? I don't know if Ochay bought the guitar, but sometime around 2011 I bought the guitar from Acme Guitar Works (who didn't describe as any particular Love Rock model).
The guitar is a flame top, sunburst, set-neck model which I would describe as resembling a Gibson honeyburst finish, or even a lemon drop (i.e. very light center color, caramel-ish near edges, NOT a cherry burst). The back, sides, & neck are traditional cherry finished mahogany. Catalog pics & descriptions lead me to believe the guitar is an LS-65 model, in Tokai's "violin" finish. Any comments or confirmation that the guitar is an LS-65 (or other LS model) is greatly appreciated.
