I'm thinking of buying this one but don't know what model SA it is. S/N W721096, photos at links below. I've never seen this finish. Thanks!

The URLs wouldn't load in IE7.

Is there any way you could download the images to your local PC and then post them here?

According to Captain Ibanez's serial number "decoding" thread, this would be a July 2002, Chinese made, (in the World factory) SA160QMTG.

See this catalog page for more details: http://www.ibanezrules.com/catalogs/us/2002/p16.jp g

That's it! Ours is made in Korea. Thank you all for the help.

If you search this thread for "World factory", you will find another SA1600 + the confirmation of the Captain that the World factory is in fact Korea. Although it was mentioned in the list of letter codes under CHINA PRODUCTION.
That seems to be an ERROR.

Oh, that was an SA160 not 1600.
Anyway, I also found a thread with Jim Donahue's comfirmation that World Factory is Korean and NOT Chinese:
