(example - serial number #24123 was the 123rd guitar made in 2004) Hi, I have a Bich Calibre that has a serial #85000238. I replaced the nut and bridge and now I'm going to change out the pots to CTS and orange drop cap. It does have the R (guitar shaped) logo on the headstock and Schaller tuners. Did the Czech builders use crappy pots and does this serial # reveal anything?

Probably because it was just posted...."7 years ago" but hey.... The factory was about to close and go to Class Axe..... Not like there are not made in the usa, but again these people were looking to be put out of work. Can someone tell me how to find out what it's worth or even what year it's from.
