Hey all,

Does anyone know if the Parallel Universe series of guitars (specifically the Troublemaker Telecaster) are made in America?

It doesn't seem to state on the headstock, so wondered if there was information floating around. Or other ways to find out?

At $2000, it's going to be US made. There's a couple of Artist models that are over $1000 and MiM, but for the most part, anything over $1000 is going to be US.

AFAIK, the start of the model number (017) tells the country of origin - MIA.

It is a limited edition model, so the the serial numbers start with LE. For example, LE04042.

You're confusing the serial number (e.g. that LE+digits) with the model series number. The serial number is individual for each guitar, but the model series number is the same for all similar model guitars.
So, for all 2018 Limited Edition Troublemaker Tele®'s the model series number is 017-6020-XXX, where the three X's tell the color - 774 for Ice Tea Burst, 783 for Ice Blue Metallic (well, to be precise; the first X being 7 tells it comes with a case, the 74 and 83 are color codes).
