Two sets of guitars made in Asia by people that don't get paid a whole lot for their labor. In the other hand, my two Prophecy GX series guitars (a Les Paul and an SG) are Chinese made - they are among the best guitars I've ever played! The Lucille, LP Ultra, Korina Flying V and Firbird VII are all from Korea - they are excellent guitars in my opinion and I have no issue with any of them. Is the Saein Korea plant different from the Unsung plant? Geeze. So, there is my 'rant-back' and my question still stands - what is the general consensus of their quality. I was not asking for a 'blanket' statement, I am asking for a general opinion. And I understand that every once in a while, there is a lemon and you have to drive it (or play it) to be sure.Īnd I disagree that it does not do anyone any service to make a general statement about quality. Now, however, their cars (generally) get much better quality marks. Ford quality was poor in the 70s yes there were some good cars, but for the most part, the cars were not great. But manufacturers earn a general market consensus for a reason. I totally understand that there are varying levels of quality from every plant that makes everything in the world. I understand your point, but I was asking, as you stated somewhere in your 'rant', for a general opinion. I don't think it does any service to anyone to make a general, blanket statement about any of the factories.īut you, of course, have the perfect right to do so.

I have also played really, really, poor ones as well. I have played a great guitar built from the plant you mention. But the problem I see with that is that so many folks hear that the (insert name of factory here) plant makes crappy guitars or the so-and-so plant makes great LPs. I know you asked for a general opinion, and perhaps one can make some general opinions on certain specific factories. I wish people would wake up to that fact. Which is.NOT ALL THE GUITARS FROM THAT FACTORY ARE THE SAME! And the rest are not very good.īut I'm also trying to make a point.
