The 90s was the time I remember for this model. I seem to remember as well Epiphone from the mid 60s with these is US made models. My time frame could be wrong.

A very small number were apparently shipped as Gibson instruments in 1970, and it was officially sold as a Gibson model beginning in 1974. (The simpler Howard Roberts Standard was available 1964-1967). The Howard Roberts Custom was reissued in 1992 as the Imperial Series 1960s Howard Roberts (to differentiate from a different Howard Roberts model made in the late 80s). They were made in Japan. The Howard Roberts HR-1 was a Korean-made version of the Howard Roberts Custom from 1994-1998. That's the guitar in question here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
