i can't find info on guitardater, any site where i can check on its serial number?

Czech Republic

 

* B = Bohêmia Musico-Delicia

A MIJ would have the "open book" Gibson headstock.

 

The only "J" indicated factory is Terada Japan.

 

Something is not adding up here.

 

 

 

exactly my thoughts,

 

but is it absolutely open book headstock for mij epi's? no exception or whatsoever#-o

 

i am in a process of deciding which one to buy, this one or a greco lp std eg700 (1979 with a not so good and not openbook headstock lolz...ooops am i allowed to type that one here?)

 

 

btw guitardater has no info on the serial...
