FROM THE LATE 1980'S OR EARLY 1990'S I BELIEVE IT WAS MADE IN 1988 AS IN MY SEARCH OF SERIAL #'S, THE FIRST DIGIT REPRESENTS THE YEARS LAST NUMBER. THEY WERE MADE IN SOUTH KOREA IN THE LATE 1980'S THRU THE EARLY 1090'S. IT HAS A MAPLE NECK SET INTO A MAHOGANY BODY. THIS IS A GREAT PLAYING AND GREAT SOUNDING GUITAR THAT HAS A WIDE RANGE OF TONES. FROM HARD ROCK TO COUNTRY TO JAZZ. IT HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY SET UP WITH A NEW SET OF STRINGS AND ADJUSTED FOR A LOW, EASY-PLAYING ACTION WITH NO FRET BUZZ. IT HAS THE SAME ELECTRONIC LAY-OUT AS A LES PAUL (2 VOLUME AND 2 TONE WITH A 3-WAY SELECTOR SWITCH). THEIR ARE A COUPLE VERY, VERY, VERY LIGHT SCRATCHES BUT ARE ONLY NOTICED IF YOU ARE REALLY EXAMINING THE INSTRUMENT VERY CLOSELY. I GOT THIS GUITAR USED ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO AND HAVE USED IT IN MY HOME ONLY (NON SMOKER). THEIR IS A VERY SMALL SCREW HOLE IN THE BACK WHERE THE NECK MEETS THE BODY WHERE THE FORMER OWNER (OR SOMEBODY) MUST HAVE PUT A STRAP BUTTON (IDIOT), HOWEVER, IT IS NOT SCUFFED UP OR CHIPPED IN THAT AREA SO IT IS NOT BAD AT ALL. I AM SELLING IT WITH THE HARDSHELL "TKL" CASE AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOS THAT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE GUITAR STAND "IS NOT" INCLUDED IN THE SALE. YOU ARE WELCOME TO COME TRY IT OUT BEFORE PURCHASING, I HAVE AN AMP OR YOU CAN BRING ONE. $565 FIRM AS THIS IS A VERY NICE INSTRUMENT THROUGH AND THROUGH. VERY COMPARABLE TO A LES PAUL WITHOUT THE HIGH PRIC TAG. LEAVE A CONTACT NUMBER IF INTERESTED.
