I've been drooling over the EE G-400s for some months now, we've had a couple of really nice ones go through the store... but the last two Epis I've purchased have both been Unsungs: a G-400 Maestro and a Les Paul Special, both 'Custom Shop' LE guitars. I was kind of disappointed that the G-400 wasn't an EE but I do prefer the Unsung in one respect: no fake African mahogany veneer on it.

Gibson has been telling a few people that their Epis were made in Nashville. One guy was in here last week convinced he had a USA-made Epi Les Paul, which, also, is highly doubtful. The CS guys at Gibson tend to be rather clueless about Epiphone; I'd take any info they pass along with a grain of salt.

Most likely Samick made in Korea, and if the serial holds to current practices I'd say it was made in January 1989. Probably a "deluxe" model since it has a set neck. The pickups are probably unremarkable but it would be worth it to upgrade.
