Identifying left hand love rock

[andyschest]

Hi,
hopefully someone will be able to figure out where and when this lefty Love Rock was made.

The 3 screw trc points towards a Korean made, but the 6 digit serial 200491 doesn't help.

It is listed on the registry as Japanese, but I'm not convinced.

Any help would be appreciated

It's most likely manufactured by Dillion in Korea,
I would need to see a control cavity pic to be 100% certain, but a three screw TRC was used exclusively by Korean manufacturers on Tokai LS models.
Tokai Japan says these 6 digit serial # examples were unauthorized, as were Canadian examples with headstock decal serial #'s.
It was probably produced sometime between 2002 and 2006.

It's definitely not made in Japan.
Japan unfailingly used 7 digit #'s for all Les Paul models, other than prototypes with no serial #'s.
