Hello
I am a hobby player based in Korea. I hope you people doing well.
Actually I bought a Tokai love rock les paul this morning.
The seller mentioned it is LS-85F model. But there was no flame maple on top.
I read some Identifying threads in this web to get some information but I failed to get any clue.

Here is some information

*Serial No. 1023701
*Maple cap. 3pcs like some 80's Gibsons
*Body back. 2Pcs not center pieced. upper piece has some stripe looks like sapele.
*Neck profile. quite chunky but not like baseball bat (a little smaller than Gibson R9 )
*Finish seems like thin poly

I also opened neck pickup to see if there is a model name in the cavity but there was nothing printed.
Soundwise, it has nice vibe heard from R8/R8 RI and I am very happy to get this guitar at $530 here.


I have added some pics.
Is this guitar 1981 or 2010 made? LS-85F?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Definitely 2010. Not sure about the 3-pc top - the offset seam is a bit odd, are you sure there's another seam on the other side? The 2010 catalog says 2-piece top for the LS92(VF) plain top, it doesn't mention how many pieces the back has but the 2012 catalog states 2 pieces.

Thank you for your research and information. It has 3pcs top for sure. But it doesn't matter. :) It sounds great and plays great.
Thank you again. Have a great day!
