ls80 sold

Moving cross-country so I need to lighten the load. Please message me for additional info, photos, details, questions, etc... Prices are USD, shipped + PayPal 1980 Tokai TE-80 (blonde, one piece ash body, unoriginal bridge pickup) $1300 Vanzandt STV-R3 (LPB, one piece ash body, Brazilian...

My theory is that it is an 1982 ST-120 with a special ordered one-piece alder body. 1982 is consistent with: -stickered model number -spaghetti logo -Of the catalogues that have surfaced online, only the 1982 catalogues has the ST-120 -two-piece bridge system with screw-on zinc alloy trem...

Really great deal... Don't think you'll find a better deal on a rosewood board Momose

Whelp, if it ever goes back on sale...

So is the LS-320 superior to the later equivalents, e.g., LS-420, 470, etc... ? Do you have any impressions of the high end HLS models like HLS-420, HLS-MAX?

If you want an LS-320, look here: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r293383992 Looks to be in good shape and the electronics have been upgraded. Unfortunate year, though.

SOLD!
