Post-Mat (the factory closed down in 1987). The 'made in Japan' sticker is weird, since all Vantage models from the early to mid 90ies were made by Samick. A.f.a.i.k. Samick had no Japanese plant (South Korea and Indonesia). Yours is a higher-end model, I would say made in South Korea ... So either Samick outsourced some models to another Japanese factory (unlikely), or the 'Japan' sticker was misplaced. :dunno:
Here's the Samick 1995 Vantage catalog: http://www.guitardir.com/specs.php?Node ... &Context=5

The "S" prefix means Samick does it not?
