2001 Gibson ES-135 questions

[Yote]

I recently bought a 2001 Gibson ES-135 burst from a local music store. Upon bringing it home, I notice some things:

 

• The serial number indicated it was made in the Nashville plant but it has a 'Made in Memphis' badge on the back of the headstock.
  
• The toggle switch has a hex nut
  

 

Is this a fake or genuine?

 

EDIT: some pictures

Looks genuine to me. All he 135 toggle switches looked like that. My 2002 looked the same. Not sure about the Memphis sticker, it may have been put on by a previous owner. Great guitar, I'm sorry I sold mine.

Actually, I recall seeing this sticker/logo on some ES models at the time.

 

2001 was the early phase of the Memphis plant. The inside label should say either Memphis or Nashville, and this would be the most accurate indicator of where it was made. But with the Memphis logo on the neck, the issue is already settled.

I recently bought a 2002 ES 137 Premier, and like yours, it also has the "Memphis" sticker, but the dater project shows it being made in Nashville.
