Hi Again Guys!

I'm going to look at a guitar this week, being sold second hand. It's a Custom Legend 2077LX. Should there be a serial number anywhere so I know for a fact it's a USA made model?
It would be very typical of someone in Spain to sell a Korean guitar and advertise it as a USA one!

Any other ways to identify them?

Thanks very much!

Somebody needs to turn-on John's membership cookie!

Since this is a Custom Legend with a contour bowl, the Serial Number should be on the back of the Headstock.
It should also have "USA" under serial number...



(That is an Adamas headstock, yours should have six digits)
It should also say that it is made in New Hartford, CT USA on the label inside the bowl.
