Does it matter where it's made?

I mean... if the materials come from the right place in the world and are assembled by humans who have been trained correctly... I'm not sure the specific geographic location of the CNC machine or the room where the parts are glued and screwed together matter so long as temperature and humidity are controlled.

So in that sense I don't think it matters. But in the sense that the right training needs to be there and proper R&D involved then yeah there are only a few places in the world I'd trust a guitar to have originated, again at least in concept and raw materials.

Many places outside of the USA can make top quality items, it takes the intent and investment to make it happen. Japan and South Korea are two examples of where the intent, investment and effort was made to produce top tier products including guitars.

For now, China, Indonesia and Vietnam are being used to produce entry level, lower cost items in large numbers - not because they can't produce top tier products, because what's needed from low cost manufacturing are low cost products.

China has a long history, before Mao, of making quality products.

IMO.
