I've been reading the registry and forums for a while now, great resource!
So yours is likely an LS-60.
I wasn't sure about the tops as I've seen posts about LS50s with 2 piece tops before, unless of course they are from the '84 '85 period where it can get confusing.
Yes - mine is an LS50 from the 84-84 period and it's a two piece top and one piece back.
In fact I'm not totally convinced mine isn't a LS60 as the maple has some really nice flame figuring when it catches the light.
The sticker is long gone and was not there when I bought it 21 years ago.
When I brought it up on this thread http://www.tokaiforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=18135&highlight= the consensus was it was a LS50 as the lacquer was poly.
It was acknowledged though that there were cases from this 1984-85 period of LS50 -60 with one piece backs.
Thanks - it seems this is one of the elusive ones designed to put a spanner in the works for the model number specs etc!
Its at the luthier at the moment having its first bit of maintenance in ages - new nut and dress - so looking forward to it coming back.
Model of the speaker LS50 is now launching the new model of the really great and louder sound of this one. For the students on the sites of the study like on write-my-essay-for-me.com/write-my-essay-online/ website these speakers are also being complimentary discounted with the essays.
The 2 piece top and open zebra pups points to an LS-60.
1982 LS-50's had 3 piece tops and double cream pickups.
All the LS series from LS-50 - LS-75 were finished in poly so that is no indicator.
