2015 History TH-LS LDB “Lemon Drop Burst” — Made in Japan

Condition

Excellent overall condition with very few signs of prior use. The primary cosmetic blemish is a small scuff near the lower side of the neck around the 12th fret adjacent to the binding, as pictured. The mark is not noticeable while playing and does not affect feel or function. The truss rod cover and rear control cavity covers still have factory protective plastic film installed. Brand new Gator LP-style hard shell case included.

The neck is straight, the truss rod functions properly, and the frets show minimal wear with plenty of life remaining. Electronics function properly. The top, back, hardware, plastics, and headstock all present very cleanly for a 2015 lacquer-finished instrument.

A thorough multi-point inspection and professional setup have been completed including truss rod adjustment, fretboard conditioning, accurate intonation, pickup height adjustment, hardware inspection, and fresh strings. A new set of 10-46 roundwound strings has been installed. Setup preferences can be adjusted prior to shipping at no additional cost.

Please inspect and test used/vintage items promptly upon delivery.

Professor’s Notes

This TH-LS has the kind of coherence that makes higher-tier MIJ instruments so compelling: Fujigen build quality, lacquer depth, Heritage Wood, and vintage-voiced pickups all working toward one very resolved single-cut. It has real weight and authority, but the response stays open and articulate rather than compressed or overbuilt. The warmer ambered LDB finish only adds to the sense that this guitar has already settled into itself.

Description

Built by Fujigen for Shimamura as a high-spec addition to their History line, the TH-LS sits well above the generic LP-style category. It combines a lacquer-finished body, Fujigen’s C.F.S. fretting system, a Heritage Wood neck, premium electronics, and vintage-oriented History FH-10D humbuckers into a remarkably coherent Japanese single-cut.

History’s “Heritage Wood” refers to reclaimed old-growth timber recovered from the Great Lakes region of North America, selected for its stability, resonance, and mature tonal character. On this TH-LS, that material choice helps reinforce the instrument’s more serious, premium-spec identity.

The FH-10D pickups are voiced in a traditional direction — clear, open, and vintage-leaning rather than compressed or high-gain. That matters here: this guitar has enough natural weight and authority on its own, so the pickups let the wood, lacquer, and construction speak instead of forcing the instrument into a modern-output lane.

The LDB finish is also worth noting. Rather than the pale yellow many players now associate with “Lemon Drop Burst,” this example has a richer amber-orange character that feels naturally aged and visually settled. Paired with the flame maple top, cream plastics, dark rosewood board, and transparent red back, it reads as a mature, high-spec MIJ instrument with real presence. For players looking for a refined Japanese single-cut with the right mix of weight, authority, lacquer depth, and vintage-inspired feel, this TH-LS offers a lot of guitar without leaning on brand mythology alone.
