The serial # 70409009(04?) made in korea.This Yorktown, is almost like the LCS-1 model except my yorktown has gold plated pickups (Mighty M.) and it has speed knobs, not bell knobs.Thanks!

So this would be a 1997, April, production nr 9009 or 9004. In this year the serial numbers were often written by hand. I wouldn't be surprised if the last digit is actually a 5 because his handwriting is really terrible. If you do a search on ICW for serial AND handwritten you will probably find the thread and pic where I finally discover the real serial number of my own guitar.
