That's great news (that I wish I'd known a couple of weeks ago . . . ., grrrr). I like to know which factory made what Korean guitar and so learned that SPG builds D'Angelicos -http://samick.wikia.com/wiki/D%27Angelico and http://samick.wikia.com/wiki/SPG_Musical_Instruments_Co

SPG was originally part of Samick http://samick.wikia.com/wiki/Samick_History

Serial number info: http://samick.wikia.com/wiki/Serial_Numbers#SPG

SPG's birth was the result of a bunch of Samick employees who didn't want to see their jobs shipped off to China when Samick went in search of the next-layer-lower labor force cost, so they bought the company and kept it in SK - I'll bet they do good work for its own sake - I know those D'Angelicos look good.

Thanks for the info.
