Polarbear said:My Love Rock doesn't have a serial, but its made in Korea.
Do I have a Korean Limited Edition from 2001?
How much is it worth if it is?
Thanks,
George
marcusnieman said:Nope... Limited editions had correct headstocks and serial numbers matching the year model it was based on. The 58 or 59 version was something like 201959 and the 56 goldtop with P90s was 201956. I had one of each. Trussrod cover had MM2001 on it.... these were made for and distributed by Mikes Music in Canada.... word has it that these were not Tokai licensed. Great guitars though

No one ever said why though...

You're killing me here..... does it really matter? The lack of serial number makes it identifiable as an EARLY MIK Tokai.... mid to late 1990's

Sorry for asking a question.

gibson 57 classics in the als with 0.022 uf orange drops---superb!
gibson 498t bridge & gibson p94 neck 0.047uf orange drop bridge, 0.022 uf orange drop neck-----killer!
when i were a lad, me and my mates all gauged the quality of a geetar on how low the action was, hofners allways gave you the high action blues :lol:
these early korean models are quality, no doubt about it.
how do we know which model number we've got though?
