The tenor of this question is a perfect illustration of why I find guitar snobbery so insidious. If you pick up a guitar, play it and fall in love with the feel, sound, etc, why bother questioning where it was produced? I don't in any way mean to insult the OP because I know that many people would pose the same question. I just think it's unfortunate that the question needs to be asked. I've had several recent Squier guitars and they have all been really great guitars, but there are plenty of players who 'know' that I'm mistaken because a Squier can't possibly be a quality instrument. Received an emall this morning that my AS153 is on the way (finally).I no longer care (much) where a guitar is made but I do realize there are differences in price points and sometimes guitars play well above theirs. Case in point, Fender Modern Player Thinline Deluxe that I had.
Played as well or better than every other guitar I owned. Didn't like the thick, shiny poly finish (didn't affect feel) but the overall feel of the neck shape and playability of the guitar was just awesome.
I ended up modding the crap out of it (standard for me) and then stupidly, I sold it when I impulse bought a PRS. It was a killer guitar. Sold it to another TGP member, maybe they can comment!Now there's most definitely a difference between the two guitars but there should be given the price points of both instruments. I think it has little to do with country of origin. Case in point, had a PRS SE Bernie Marsden which had the same feel as the USA PRS but made in a different country and was 1/3 the cost.
Played easier than my LP too. If QC is good, QC is good. You're definitely going to get better woods and materials in higher end guitars as well as electronics. But the base package is usually there if QC is under control.This'll definitely be the most expensive Chinese guitar I've ever bought by a long shot.
It'll be interesting to compare it to other Chinese Ibanez I've played as well as my other 'pricey' guitars. The tenor of this question is a perfect illustration of why I find guitar snobbery so insidious.

I've owned many great guitars that were made overseas and I've owned bad guitars made in the USA. That said, I believe the stigma attached to the words 'made in china' is reasonable. And I'm not trying to start a political discussion or insult anyone. Hence why I was surpised how nice the Ibanez was. Now there have been times where I was impressed with a chinese made guitar but they were also below $400 and that factored into it. The Ibanez in question is a $1000 guitar which in my experience is a pretty high price tag for a chinese made guitar.

Click to expand.I think I follow your point in that the price of labor and materials are cheaper in China, so you would expect to pay less for a Chinese made guitar of the same quality as a USA made guitar. It is also obviously true that historically, Asian made guitars have been lower quality.However, if you look at Japan, they slowly built a very solid reputation for making quality guitars and as their society moved into the same kind of wage structure as the US, people now pay a couple grand for a Japanese made Gretsch. I believe that Mexico, China and Indonesia are swiftly catching up with USA made quality and as a result, the only factor that makes their instruments cheaper is largely based on the economics of the country of manufacture rather than the quality of their products. Even the hardware and electronics are pretty good now.
At this point, most Epiphone, Squier and Ibanez product I pick up sounds and plays wonderfully.
