In the middle of the open book headstock there's a dimple..I see other that came after, and they don't have it....Can anyone explain...

Also, what's the serial? Can you post a pic of the back of the headstock, and a closer pic of the front of the headstock?
marcusnieman said:Once again, dimples were put on the headstocks of export guitars for copyright reasons. If yours has a dimple, then that's why. If it's an 85 as you say, go to the catalog section and have a peek there.
In a prior post about your guitar, you wanted to know if you paid too much and again asked about the dimple.
If you want us to help identify what you have, then you need to provide the following pictures. Without them, it will be as frustrating to you as it is for those who are trying to help:
Front and back of headstock
Front and back of body
Underside of pickups
Body cavities and any markings after the pickups are out
But remember Mick...us Aussies have NEVER had to suffer the dimple.leadguitar_323 said:Interesting, The fender style guitars had a headstock change around this time but i have never seen a "dimpled" 1985 Love rock. I was under the impression they started much later.

Your right, Tokai Joe I remember them aswell ,when they were new. I own an 85' Love rock with the dimple. I got a front pic loaded to photobucket. I need to take a pic of the back of the headstock but, the serial is 5025117.TOKAI JOE said:8) we all know today that the recent uk edition tokais have a dimple
but i think i remember sure that the american market edition guitars
basically all had a dimple around 1984. or from 1984. when tokai really
seemed to be expanding their sales everywhere after the 1978-1982
vintage replica golden years. i saw them w/dimple in the tokai american
catalogs from the mid 80s. not super sure but almost sure. that good
catalog site called vint-axe?..............j
