Yup, I had been doing some reading about it, never saw one though. I
was a little doubtful at first but coming from Gibson, I figured they
would probably do a good job.. Hey Dick, where was it made.? Just
curious...


------------------------------


All real Gibson's are made in the USA. *The primary plant for solid bodied
electrics is in Nashville, TN. * *They build acoustics somewhere in Montana.


Gibson also owns several other guitar brands including Epiphone. *These are
lower cost guitars, similar to the Gibson line, but are manufactured in
several countries, including the US, Japan, Korea and China. *Similar
arrangement to Fender's "Squire" Strat which is manufactured in, I think,
Korea.

Besides the "Squire" Strat, Fender also sells Fender Strats made in
Mexico, which a cheap knock offs of the American Fenders.
here is an example.http://www.zzounds.com/item--FEN134600- Hide quoted text -

Yup, and you can tell a mexican strat right away if you are used to
playing a genuine American strat. Preferably an old one.
