Actually if you get an Indonesian one those are good the Chinese qc on the other hand is not as much. Ive had a few Korean built guitars from that time period and to be honest I found that they all had quality issues such as fret work and level frets. The hardware they use now is better (grover tuners as opposed to generic tuners). Korean guitars really only got good in the past 10 years or so with some exceptions. Indonesia is known for their woodworking. More than likely they are built in the Cort factory and if you look up a video of their manufacturing techniques their factories put Gibson's factory to shame. They do have cheaper labor than Korea but they also make a great guitar. China, with the exception of some Eastman guitars, I have not been impressed with their quality. As for neck profiles that's something that everyone has a different opinion on.
