Look at the label on back of headstock.

Most of the imports are made in Indonesia now actually.

I've played some Warwick basses made in China and couldn't believe how nice they were. Granted, they're more expensive than you'd initially think when you hear "made in China," but there apparently are some Chinese factories that can churn out some pretty nice stuff.

I haven't played a Jackson import in a long time, so I have no idea whether these are nice or not.

Charvel production line guitars are made in Mexico alongside the EVH Striped Series.

Charvel Custom Shop is still made in the USA.

Jackson Custom Shop is still made in the USA. A $200 Jackson starter guitar isn't going to be made in the USA

I have an Indonesian JS3V bass, and a Chinese KEXTMG guitar and both are made very well. Overseas quality has come a long way over the past several years. With a good setup most of these guitars can rival a much more expensive axe.

I have an Indonesian Squier that, if I'm honest with myself, might be one of the best guitars I've ever played. I have it one a stand in my living room (won't shed any tears if the kids launch a die-cast dump truck toy into it), and everytime I pick it up, I can't believe how much I like it.

I think just the really cheap Jacksons are made in China. My kid's minion is made in China.

I had an Indonesian SLSMG soloist. Really nice guitar, hardtail that stayed in tune better than most. Nice guitar.

Played a newer import Soloist yesterday and did not like it at all. Especially at $900.

Was trying to be open minded but just felt off all around.
