Joined: August 2002 Posts: 8307 Location: Tennessee | Of course I defer to W2 on this, but I have seen Korean Ultras that looked like this. But I suppose all the Moosup production was eventually farmed out to Korea so that makes sense. Wouldn't the ASW Legend have a 5 piece neck? And no bridge bolts? | ||
