Yes, the Tribute Cantrell, the Tribute ASAT HB and the [new in 2010] Tribute Legacy HB are all built in China.
Your Tribute timeline is not quite correct. The Tribute line made in Japan came before the Made in Korea Tribute line and it is
still in production, but is only marketed and sold in Japan. The Made in Korea Tribute line was moved to Indonesia and is still
manufactured there. There are some postings in the G&L Knowledgebase subforum General G&L Questions about Tribute line.
BTW, the serial numbering for the Made in China models begin with "L".
Hope this helps.

This is an old thread, but what does the "L" stand for in the Chinese serial numbers, and were those guitars also made by Cort or by someone else?
Thanks
