I'm not a brand loyal person. Every purchase is dependant on todays needs and the price/quality equation.

I have a friend who has a Tacoma. I'm not a fan. Another chum has a Lowden which he lent me for two weeks and 10 days in, it was back in it's case and I was back to my Far East made Turner. (Nothing to do with Rick)

I have an Indonesian squier strat which I've replaced the hardware & electrics in. the NECK is as good as any US Fender I've ever played.

In MY humble opinion US made guitars aren't any better than any other nationality IN THE SAME PRICE BRACKET. In fact, with the high (should that read fair?) salaries paid in the US, arguably a $1000 US made guitar shouldn't be as good as a $1000 Czech made guitar.

Like others have said, a quality handmade will be a quality handmade nomatter where it was made.
