I got the chance of buying a Love Rock, but I don't know which model it is or where it has been made as it doesn't seem to have a serial number. The current owner bought it used in 1997.
From looking at the bridge (metal inserts), the position of the volume knobs and the date you mention, I?d say its Korean.
Any pics of the back, headstock and nut?
Thanks for your help so far gents. It's much appriciated. I've been away for a while but now I'm back with two new pics that'll hopefully help clarifying the model of this Love Rock.
