Cool Guitar

Got it for my 17th, went to a Noel Gallagher HFB gig and got it signed before the sound check. It is easily the coolest thing I own! Love to play it, its an iconic guitar!

I almost bought one of these just to have a hideous union jack guitar, but it felt so poor in my hand I put it back, hope yours is better.... made in Korea or China?
