Echotone: is this Korean or other?

[Tres Aardvarks]

I've asked for a rear headstock photo since that's where the stamps are. Were the Korean ones offered in this finish / trim? If it's Korean, $200 seems like a smoking deal for one. Of course, I'll have to figure out how to get up there to grab it before I leave for another week of international travel and with the wifey filling our weekends up!!

Smoking deal. I have seen that finish.

I would pick that up today if it was in Charlotte. Stick some Lollar Imperials and Tonepros on that beatch and fire away...

Looks nice.

""I bought it new as a "factory 2nd". It had supposedly had a finish flaw that I could never find."

"was never mistreated, but it does have a defect in the neck finish near the binding (see pics)"

Headstock serial number and country of origin were scratched off when he bought it as a 2nd....

Wherever it was made, it's worth $200 of anybody's money!

I'm no expert, but I thought all of the Echotone's were built in Korea.

Nope, made in Indonesia and China(?) after the early ones were in Korea.
