Hi
I've just taken delivery of a 1979 LS60 Reborn and have a question for you all.
The face of the head stock (where the Tokai and LP logos are printed) appears to be a very thin piece of plastic which has been glued to the face of the head stock. Tere is a very small gap where the outside edge of this plastic (could be other material I guess?) doesn't quite meet the outside edge of the mahogany (i.e. it's a poor fit on such a quality guitar). You can easilly run your fingernail around the "gap".
Is anyone else familiar with this trait? I assumed the black face was simply painted?
I want to be sure I haven't been sold a pup so any advice gratefully received. Serial number seems correct and there is a "60" on fingerboard as expected. Any other sure fire way to confirm it's a Tokai and not a fake?
Could maybe get a photo if it helps you all.
Many thanks
Fluff.
