sliptrip Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 were these the impeccable japanese copies done in the 70's?
olelancucki Posted June 5, 2009 Author Posted June 5, 2009 so you like it? i dont know if its japan made or korea, heard that korea orvilles are nothing comparing to japan ones. Auctions description says that its been made in '91 : "This has the K serial (K018553) which was Made in Japan by the Terada factory in 1991 (K stands for Kuramae, Yamano's wholesales division)"
matiac Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Definately Japanese, Orvilles weren't made in Korea. That guitars a sweety, I'd love to get my mits on an Orville!
pippy Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 were these the impeccable japanese copies done in the 70's? Yes they were. They built them until fairly recently as far as I am aware and they are very good quality indeed.
pohatu771 Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Yes they were. They built them until fairly recently as far as I am aware and they are very good quality indeed. Actually, they were built from 1988 until 1998, not in the 70s.
olelancucki Posted June 6, 2009 Author Posted June 6, 2009 Really? Orvilles were only 'MIJ" ? I read here : http://guitarsjapan.com/orvillegibsoninfopage.html that these ones which has serial number stamped on silver sticker are korean.
