That’s really pretty. I love my Koa EC-1000. It always turns heads when people see it. Sounds awesome with the SD pups, too. Thanks for a great instrument!

On a website of a dealer I read this guitar is made in Indonesia, not Korea which I read somewhere else, which this correct?

Or are these being made in multiple factories in both countries? Or diffrent versions and the production got shifted to another country so earlier models are form a diffrent country than more recent ones?

Hi Joshua, Thanks for your comments and questions. We are constantly monitoring production standards at our various factories in Asia where we produce LTD instruments. We may shift production or share production between different factories however we always make sure that our products being produced are of excellent quality and they must pass our own quality assurance testing. So it is correct to say that this model is made in Indonesia, it also may be made in Korea. However, the specs and quality remain the same.

If the serial number starts with a "W" then it is made in South Korea by Word Musical Instrument Corporation (WMIC). WMIC is probably the best of the foreign makers of guitars for quality. (Schecter, PRS) are a few made by them. I have this guitar EC1000 FM and it is is as good and in fact better in some ways than my ESP II Eclipse made in Japan.

The Top tier LTD models are most likely made by WMIC and the mid top lower tier made in Indonesia. Indonesian guitars have a serial number that starts with a "I".
