You also don't show the full front headstock of yours. If it's a three screw trussrod cover (like the Korean one you put up in your other post), then it's definitely not MIJ Your 08 serial number indicates 2008 - but as far as I know, there were no Japanese ES100's in 08.

That's a great one Joe!! Excellent video too... the old footage is great. I really like the horns with Jimmie on this one.

This and the other tracks from the 3cd live set are utterly brilliant for me. Here we have two fantastic guitarists, one everyone knows and the other sadly isn't (RIP Danny) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq4ehZDuECg Great.....
