"H" means the Historic. They are made by special order for Hibiki shop and other shops as well. Specifications may vary slightly as this is a special orders, but the key differences are:
1. They changed the neck angle from 4.5 degrees to 3.8 degrees
2. According to Guitar Museum Kurosawa shop web site they changed the pickups locations that make everything "vintage correct"
3. For HLS they use Delrin nut instaed of Bone nut.
4. Pickups are HP-1 instead of PAF-Vintage MK2. Anybody knows what's the difference??
5. HLS160 has 2 piece body instead of 1 piece body in LS160.
Pour l'instant, elle est évidemment encore un peu "trop verte", "pas assez débourée" par rapport à mes autres Les Paul, qui ont de la bouteille, voire des années de vol. Du coup j'ai du mal à la comparer et à la situer.
Quelle beauté merveilleuse! Je n'aimais pas les LP noires, mais plus çà va... Plus çà va!
