edwards guitars made in china

Yeah , an Edwards guitar made in China may be great quality because of the quality control standards of Edwards but to know I have a MIJ guitar feels better than one MIC. It's all in the mind.
You're missing the point. I did not say anything about MIC or the price. You said it's all in the mind and I said , yeah , it's nicer to minds to know that they own a MIJ instead of a MIC.

i didn't say it's not reasonable...well...it always be good if can get a good guitar at cheaper price right?
good guitar is a good guitar indeed regardless the country of origin...but still in the actual consumer view point, being MIJ or MIA is one of the selling point
when 1 of the selling point gone and sales are dropping price might get reduced

To be honest, wanna buy these products, dun buy it in a resale country like Singapore, chances are prices gonna kill your pocket.
You want MIJ products, wait for ur friends go to Japan, buy it there and hand carry back for you. Likewise for American products.
All the extra money we pay goes where? to shipping companies (for shipping cost), to government (for tax/tariffs) and to our local stores (for rents, salaries, profits etc.).

Well ok if it's the labeling that is causing all these unhappiness i can understand and i do agree cause labeling is an issue to some because it is part of the selling point in their views. So perhaps Edwards should label their guitars made in japan/china in the future to avoid misunderstandings on their side :mrgreen:

Had a sudden thought... If Edwards guitars have the MIJ label but are in fact MIC, isn't that flat-out lying?

Yes, of course you can buy it if you think it is good.
But people are not buying from him because he's selling fake guitars. It's so much more than just country of origin.
Edwards, MIC or MIJ, are still genuine Edwards. Please don't mix these two issues up, they are like oil and water.
If you are talking about Edwards lying and all that, well, no they are not lying. They are just withholding certain information. Grey area? Definitely.
If you read the threads posted in mylespaul forum regarding this issue, it states clearly that ESP is not denying the fact that initial manufacturing is done in China. If you ask, they tell. So they are not lying.
They can still be considered MIJ because only the initial manufacturing is done in China. Other important aspects of the manufacturing are still done in Japan.
When a certain percentage of a good is manufactured in a certain country, they can be labelled as MIJ, or MIA for that matter. As long as the percentage is met, it's MIJ or MIA for you. It doesn't have to be 100%.
And to be honest, if it's 100% MIJ, they will surely promote the fact widely. Something like, 'Fully hand-crafted in Japan by master Japanese luthiers' and that sort of stuff.
what??? You are kidding, right?
Epiphone doesn't have open book headstock, like gibby. Edwards does!
that affects the TONE
