That LP is in gorgeous condition but as you say, way OTT on the price (at that price you can get a VOS) - I'd have said circa £2,300 as the top price. Always worth giving them a call to see what they'd be prepared to come down to.
Might also be worth making an offer on this one:

Managed to get in touch with above mentioned alternative

To be honest I do prefer the more natural look of the 84 model. This looks to me overdone in terms of brownish colouring on the back and the neck.
I might be able to push him on similar price like 84 but at the moment it is more expensive.
My only question is what would be the difference in construction or specs compared to the 84? I would consider it if there was a significant difference between them in favour of the 80 model.

Lawrence pickups

The Lawrence pickups got high output which I thought would be more suitable for heavy music?I know Shaw are much more desirable but for my kind of style maybe not as suitable as Lawrence pickups?Correct me if I'm wrong.
What are you thoughts guys?

As ICBM said the pickups on these are known to have issues because of the pcb on them. Get some new ones. I put a wcr filmore set in and they work beautifully.
I assume using three pieces to make up the cap was a bit of a cost cutting exercise, obviously a 2 piece top will look nicer. The 3 pieces that make up the top on my guitar are not matched very well. In regards to pickups, if you decide to change them, just keep the originals nice and safe so if you decide to sell it will be all original. You can see in the pic of my guitar the poorly matched top, it doesn't worry me though because I can't see it when I'm playing it! http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee512/bandmaster188/imagejpg1_zps3bebbe7f.jpg
Yes, if you can solder well.
