With no "Made in San Luis Obispo, California, USA" on the back of the headstock, and a serial number that's not in the database, that's gonna be a StingRay EX. The were made in Japan for the Japanese market by Kanda Shokai, using genuine US-made hardware and electronics from the EBMM factory, on Japanese-made bodies and necks.
