Any idea on weight?

Gadgie

Another lovely guitar

Limehouse_Blues

The LS-150 weighs 4.8kg (about 10 and a half lbs) - so not the lightest but still a feather compared to my old 1980 Gibson LP Standard which weighed nearly 13 lbs!

BOTH  guitars are available. The LS80 and the LS150.

Can't believe these two guitars are still for sale at these prices ! Undoubtedly the best LP style for the money by a longshot ....

Limehouse_Blues

Still here and still a bargain

150 is sold pending payment

Are the Love Rock models any good?

I can only speak regarding an LS 80 (1980 model) that I recently sold but I bought that in preference to a whole wall of Gibsons that were on display at my local PMT ...... Many may disagree but I think Japanese guitars are not only better value for money but also craftmanship and playability too ....

Yes every bit as good but only the ones made before 1985

Gadgie

ok so a more recent tokai love rock is not as good?

Many of the new ones are excellent. I had a 2015 Hibiki that was specially selected for its light weight (under 8lbs and all solid). The high end new ones also have long tenons.

The 150 is now sold. The LS80 is still here and looking for a new home.

Limehouse_Blues

Bump for new year

Limehouse_Blues

The 80 is still here. You won't find a better price on an all original LS80 anywhere else.

I'm seriously considering the LS80 myself. Stunning guitar. Can someone buy it so I don't have to think about it or spend the  (very fair) asking price! I played it and was blown away by just how good it was. So much mojo!
