Old KH202 vs New KH202
Old KH202 vs New KH202
I had a Korean model from 02 or so, I thought it was great for the money I paid. The EMG HZ's sounded better to my ears than the newer ESP LH300's or whatever they are. The fretboards seem a lot drier and cheap looking on the newer Chinese models, but the Chinese model has one feature I dig over the Korean ones... an unpainted neck.

+1 ive noticed that as well, the chinese KH202 has a big time "cheaper" feel to the guitar imo
Hi Mark .. Greetings how are you going ?
I have Chinese LTD Kh202 ...quality was not upto mark of a $800 guitar ....so I upgraded pickups in it . I m thinking of swapping the tremolo LFR with OFR. Could you please let me know if it fits and do I need to drill or route ? Is it worth upgrading to OFR ?
I thought all sub-400 series guitars were made in Indonesia, not Korea? (a few years ago at least)
