[/QUOTE Well then you heard right, they are fine guitars. But don't take my word for it, or anyone else's. If the instrument speaks to you that's all the validation it could possibly need. You don't need a bunch of online guitar geeks telling you any different. | ||

My understanding is the parts are made in Korea and possibly elsewhere, then assembled in Germany. But quality is quality no matter where the parts are made. | ||
