Everything is a matter of opinion - their are superior Factory mades and some handbuilts that are less than pro ( new builders or just dogs ) Factory built might mean to some that their are many pros building your guitar , making it practically perfect , or the philosophy that one person who is a master makes a one of a kind masterpiece . i guess its what ever floats your boat . i have two handbuilts - a Greven Jumbo and a Boak Dread - as well as many top end factory models --- i am very happy with each in its own way - I guess you also start another discussion about the best wood - but that is also depending on who builds your guitar - some makers can screw the sound even when you give them Brazilian rosewood and others who make that truly remarkable " angelic voiced Instrument " made of East Indian or Walnut- etc. so my suggestion is not to get me going on the who makes the best etc-- Peace !
