Can you post some pictures including one of the serial number?

Looks to me like part of the serial number is missing.

Looks like there may have been a letter and another number on the left side. I can see part of a number.

These are typically letter + seven digits.

And no one has been able to decipher these letter prefix MIK serial numbers. They may be unrelated to a date.

Authorized Korean production of Tokais is generally believed to have been between 1995 and 2005.

I decided to create a separate thread on these since this thread is for a completely different guitar.

Looks like your serial number was possibly SN J2902253 ? I found another guitar that is probably one digit away from yours.
