Epiphone Rivoli reissue - Korean or Japanese?

[Johnny Bassman]

I'm interested in buying a Rivoli reissue. (I had a '64 Rivoli but stupidly sold it for peanuts in '67.) My questions is: for the reissue, which is best - Korean or Japanese. Thanks John

No direct experience of either, but the '90's Korean ones were made by Peerless and are very highly regarded.   Anything modern MIJ is bound to be a safe bet too.   

A good thread on current semi options here:

Didn’t know they made one in Japan. The Korean ones are getting expensive 2nd hand.
