Where does one get a blue label? Orange screams Korean-made, which I am fine with (since I own one...) but the blue would be nice.

Every once in a while those blue labels pop up on e-bay. Just check now and then. There may be one up there next week, next month, or now. One never knows.

But believe me, the hard part is not finding them, the hard part is getting the old orange label off. Man, was that a pain. Have to constantly soak the label with warm water and through the little f-hole somehow manage to scrape the label off. It sure was not fun. It sure was not easy.

OK, thanks. What I did do already was replace all pots, switch and jack with Gibson USA parts, and put on some better tuners.
