What I mainly would like for this thread, is people to start realising these guitars are made by different factories, owned by different companies. This website possesses NO DATABASE of guitars made by manufactures, instead simple serial code patterns that are available on this site and in the wider guitar community are used. (I think this thread is not the time or place to offer my personal opinion on this, but rest assured, there will be one) Inevitably the question arises if they are any good, and comparisons are drawn with their Chinese and Korean counter parts, usually with a generous helping of sweeping generalisations. Over the last 10-15 years you may have noticed an increase of guitars labeled “Made in Indonesia”.
