Warwick thumb bolt on question

[thebassplaya]

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a Warwick thumb bolt on used off a private seller...

I'm concerned I might be buying a Korean made as opposed to a German made. Is there any way I can check to ensure its German. And be 100% certain..? Thanks

Never seen a Korean one that was oil finished, and they have a maple neck.

Yeah, its obvious. Gloss finish/maple neck = Korean (as far as thumbs go, the rules change with vetoes). Oil finish/dark wood neck = German.

 

[LakeEffect]

Easy, I should say, obvious after you've read the posts above.

Cheers guys.

If it has wenge neck, it is made in germany.
