is located in the Namdong Industrial Complex in Incheon, Korea. That plant was suppose to put out some excellent Epiphone guitars and I just am verifying that the serial number is indeed the Korean plant and if $325 is a fair price for one in excellent condition. Serial dating is easiest for instruments made in the USA or Mexico, but is also possible for those made in Japan, Korea, China, and Indonesia. I just want to know that a 2004 was made in Korea. Example of a Gibson serial number: A real serial number is stamped dark on the back of the headstock.

Conversely, it is of course no guarantee whether the guitar is authentic, as a serial number is easy to copy. Since the verification shows Korea/China. If a serial number is not in the lists or is not recognized in the serial number decoder, it does not mean that the guitar is a fake. I will refund any overage on the shipping charges. I just want to know if that serial # states it was made in Korea and not China. Korean made Dean bolt on ML in very good condition with just a few dings, chips and scratches and light surface rust to the hardware.
