ok i just discovered something interesting..my ObG wine red with no ser no (so i assumed it was 1995..very late production and they just didnt stamp it) actually has in the right light the remnants of sticker evidence, now remember this is an Orville BY Gibson, with a ebony board and all mahog body, and fret binding...but has anyone ever seen another like this with a sticker? i haven't so I am assuming from japanstrats excellent info, that it is a 1993? era terada guitar..
pics here...
