One is a '99 LS70F in Indigo Blue, which is my main guitar at the moment, especially now that it has a set of Bare Knuckle Pickups in there. It sounds sweet. ;) My latest purchase is another Love Rock, but this one is an LS60 which seems to date from 1980, but is in a bit of a grey area as it doesn't conform to the standard serial no's that Tokai used, but it has all the features that were discontinued sometime in the early 80's, and weren't seen again, such as a PCB in the control cavity, "twin ring" kluson-a-like tulip button tuners, a "pointy bell" TRC, and Vintage PAF MkI pickups (although I've changed them already to another set of Bare Knuckles, but kept the originals).
