Location: The Great Pacific Northwest		It was my understanding that all of the Ultra's were "assembled" in the USA. The necks and bodies were made in Korea, but the Schaller bridges, Dimarzio pickups, Grover or Schaller tuners, all brought together in Mussup, CT. They were only made for those few years, and due to the resounding yawn that they created at the time, It doesn't seem likely any were assembled oversead, but anything is possible.
