I'd like to know more about it. I've never run across another one. I love playing it. Every other guitar player I've run across has as well. I know it probably isn't rare. Don't care actually :) serial is 91225832. The headstock has "the feeling is legendary". Can somebody tell me more about it?

That "The feeling is legendary" is found written on some Korean Newporters, Montaras, Redondos (...), but I don't know if it was used for any special year/occasion or just as a general advertising gimmick. That would date the guitar to about 1985-1992; there is no accurate record of these - and no omnicovering info database, either.
The country of origin should be found on the same piece of paper as the serial number, inside the guitar..?

I don't wonder that 'everybody's loved it' part, the 'California series' guitars (both MIJ and MIK) were quite decent guitars to begin with, and IMHO&E(xperience) aging improves the sound of old acoustics.
The guitar is not a 'vintage collectible item', but it's pretty rare these days. Enjoy, and play on.
