See this post, to determine the country of origin: Serial number significance.

Hope this helps.

Yes, there were some special builds done with Mahogany bodies in 2004 and 2006. I was not aware they also did some in 2008, but
I don't always get informed about these special builds. See: Production List of G&L Instruments (USA).

Perhaps you could post some photos of this guitar in our G&L Porn!!! sub-forum, as we all love to see any G&L instrument. :thumbup:

Hope this helps.
