ELECTRIC: BEL AIRE SERIES

The bodies for the Bel Aire models were produced and instruments were assembled in the USA by Dean (the serial numbers were stamped under the neck plate area), with the remaining parts being made in Japan by ESP. By 1985, total production had moved to Japan. Revived in 1987, the Bel Aire models were entirely produced in Korea through 1989.
