Hi,

Need some help

I understand that there are Orville (NOT Orville by Gibson) that are made in Korea? How do we identify them?

I have a Japanese friend that told me ALL Orvilles are made in Japan. Is this true?
 
NO it's not.

There's many threads on this part of the forum that explain how to recognize a MIK Orville from a MIJ one.

NOw, more than half of the Orville I see on ebay are Korean.
 
No stamped serial # on back of headstock = Korea (they used stickers, which most people seemed to have removed.)
