Well, there is World Musical Instruments in Korea. I think they used to go by Samick. Off the top of my head they do PRS SE, Dean, Eastwood, LTD, Washburn, Chapman and they're doing the Ormsby GTR line.

Bloody hell - I had no idea that Perry had delegated the GTR line to Korea. I never thought he'd make a line that wasn't Australian made
probably an income stream thing - get volume guitars made overseas: it puts a product out there in volume so he can pay the bills, and so frees him up for customs builds

Yeah and play any of the guitars they build and you know why he went with them.
Quote from the man himself.
"To spend the time required, and use the absolute best timbers available, my custom hand made guitars do end up being out of reach of most musicians. This is something that always worried me. I didn’t want to just be helping people who were lucky enough to be financially well off. My dream was to have a line of guitars that were more affordable, but still had the Ormsby quality control, and innovations like Multiscale fretboards, and my favourite pickup winds.
However, it wasn’t just a case of finding a cheap Asian manufacturer and contracting them to go forth and build. It was planned over a number of years, then 18 months of talks and discussions with the team, and now finally releasing the guitars. There was only one company I was willing to work with, and if they said no, there was no way the entire project would have been started."
