So I have a Limited Edition LP Standard, sparkletop with Bigsby, #U7020492 Unsung, but 1970? Maybe 1997, February, #492?
And a Dot, #S98124415, which I guess would be Samick, 1998, December, #4415? They made a lot by the end of the year, I suppose.
I had a Korean Sheraton that was real nice, but I personally don't like thin necks and ended up selling it. The Dot I have now is also Korean-made, and is more comfortable to me. I would actually prefer a guitar with the neck set deeper into the body, as I don't spend that much time up high on the neck and it would be more comfortable down by the nut. It's all what's best for the individual player.
