Really nice guitar hiro! Here's the 1978 LS-100 OS:

This one belonged to villager but I'm not sure has made it into this gallery yet.
1980 LS-80 - fantastic top IMHO... flecked, varied, subtle flame and grain.

OK, from earlier to later years and lower models to higher models for the rest hopefully ...

Some model #'s or dates may have been misidentified or difficult to determine, I suspect, but in most cases I've left info as reported.

I wanted to add this guitar that I had thought was already in here from the original posts, but I can't find it.

It's from 1982. No idea which model it was. Has FEB, solid flame top, one piece back, nitro finish, pickups were replaced before I got it with Seymour Duncans. I put Deaccis in it.

And here it is (with the Seymour Duncans I bought it with) pictured with my solid flame top 1983 LS80 with two piece back (on right) that I have since sold. it was pictured earlier in this thread on page one.

Here is the 1983 LS80 reposted without the annoying Photobucket watermark. Two piece back and the "80" sticker still in tact.

With the changes with Photobucket I would not be surprised if most of these images vanish at some point. :(
 
I had a 1983 LS80 with a solid flamed top but it had a two piece back. Odd combo.

Reborn Old:

"Beginning in 1983, LS-80 solid tops no longer included 1 piece backs while veneer topped examples continued to include 1 piece backs.
All other specs such as nitro finish and fret edge binding remained in force for 1983"
