Need Help Identifying 2019 Love Rock!

[PappyHMike]

Dear community,

After a long time lurking the forums and admiring the Love Rock from afar, I've finally joined the Tokai owners club. I took a bit of a gamble on a 2019 Love Rock (model unknown) and I'm now trying to identify exactly what I've got my hands on. I was hoping the members of this fine community might be able share some of their knowledge with me.

What I do know about the guitar

- It's an export model (has dimple headstock)
- It was made in 2019 (serial number on back of headstock starts with a 19)
- It has Made in Japan printed on the bottom backside of the headstock in black
- It has a two piece cap
- It could be a one piece or two piece body - it's really hard to tell but I think I might be able to see a join in the middle - if it is a two piece they have done a very good job of making it seamless!
- The tone and volume pots all have "GF Made in Japan" printed on the back
- The tone capacitors are some strange things that I've never seen before - I'd describe the colour as "day glow green" and they have thick white insulated legs
- It looks to me to be a nitro finish based on some small spots of damage I can see (scratches and dents are what I would describe as "soft", some small spots where the finish has a melted look - similar to the wear on my Gibson SG which I beleive is also a nitro finish) - I'm far from an expert here though so could be wrong

I've added some pics below for reference. Any information the community could provide would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Welcome.

If it has a 2 piece back it sounds like an ALS or ULS129.

A (American version) or U (European version) represents that export dimple.

Thanks for the reply Sigmania! I've had a better look at the back and it is indeed a two piece, so would appear to indeed match the 129 specs.
