...and finished in Japan. Good enuf for me.
Gee, you guys are real sticklers!
Hey, don't get me wrong, i have never said that they were bad guitars, i just find it funny because a lot of guys seem to be obsessed with the need to have some link to Japan to justify something ? They are great guitars, i don't have one but {i have 2 many guitars now..
},i would love a Page model and will probably buy one at some stage. Basically though, the only thing done in Japan is the electronics, bridge and tailpiece and the machine heads. Oh and set up, which ESP do very well, all the building and painting are done in China. The good thing about all this is that ESP have had a factory in China since 1992, so these guitars are being made in a well established factory under Japanese supervision, there's plenty to be pleased about there.
I think prices will go up but China will be a super power in musical instrument making for a long time to come.
