Starting a thread to house these.

Obviously this is a modified headstock to deal with Gibson's trademarks on Les Paul copies.

It appears that they were made for the North American market and the examples I have seen bear the letter "N" in the model number likely to designate the North American market as Paladin2019 suggested.

These show up on a web site from 2002 for "Active Music" who were the Canadian distributors that lost their commission for ordering fake Tokais in 2003 and 2004. Aka Fakais.

Manufactured Under License For... Fakais


Korean examples:
E0105156 (May 2001, number 156?)
F0601116 (January 2006, number 116?)
F0601259 (January 2006, number 259?)

"I must say it plays wonderfully and the craftsmanship is really good. I'd rank it in between a higher end Epi LP and a lower end Gibson. I absolutely love the guitar and have upgraded the pups to Burstbuckers 1/2 and aim to upgrade wiring soon as well. (small 500k caps)"
