Amazing U.K. deal,

[Tsjackson]

Edit! NOT MIJ ACCORDING TO SELLER

Someone should definitely buy this, I’m pretty sure it’s a 2019 LS132s at a great price

I'm not that well informed on LP copies especially modern ones, but doesn't the LS132 have the open book headstock? This looks more like a UALS65S but then I would assume the shop know what it is. No pic of the back of the headstock.

Just came across this, same guitar/pics. Odd, is it the same guitar or have they borrowed the pics?

I always thought the non import dimple headstocks were simply made for NOT the U.K.

It is second hand so the shop could be wrong, Japanese trus rod cover? Easily changed

Well spotted on identical photos on reverb, the same guitar it seems is for sale for too cheap and far too expensive simultaneously.

The guitar they are selling in the shop is Korean and they just lifted the pics & description of an LS132 from that reverb listing

If it's too good to be true...etc

That makes more sense.

2000-2005 Korean.

The U most likely stands for UK or Europe.

Tokai has not been consistent however. There are some Chinese ALS models without the dimple. Pretty confusing.

Oh haha you got actual photos, why didn’t I think of that! I thought it was an insane price for a 132, which I believe is now a 144?

That particular one seems to be an LS50S.

Last night I bought it on the off chance it was a 132, I unbought it this morning when I called them to ask what they actually had

Haha ballsy but smart move, could’ve been well worth it

Messaged them a few times until they told me it was stamped. Made in Korea

I got the same back, as is always the way if it seems to good to be true… it’s often Korean?
