    Actually Jarrod/DB some PRS Guitars are made by World Guitars Korea. As are some of Perrys,Rob Chapmans,Fenders,Gibsons,Esp,Music Man, Vigier and Kramer. World guitars are known for making the better quality ones,it's a family business and staff are well looked after. But yep strange how companies can put made in the USA on a product.

    Yhep I do like the instruments that World guitars have made, I'd buy most of the guitars from that factory if I could!

    IMO MiM Squiers are really nice instruments too, I'm considering getting a MiM J bass one day after playing one, with a couple simple, little, inexpensive upgrades you really can end up with a very nice instrument, even with a somewhat thick finish (it was thinner than I thought it was). I agree with DB and Jrod, the so called USA made guitars are just horrid for what you pay for. A legitimate USA made instrument on the other hand like a Ric or a PRS are so worth getting!

    So why aren't we charging $5 to $10k for our hand-finished, Made-in-Australia-from-local-and-imported-parts, customised guitars?
