Enquiry: Ibanez Indonesian factory

[ethanleow]

Anyone know where exactly is the address of the Ibanez Indonesian Factory?

 

[jskadiang]

If it helps, it's somewhere in Surabaya. It's the Cort factory.

Woah Ethan, you have plans to visit the factory?

 

[ethanleow]

Ryanz: Sort of! haha.

Cort factory.. Does Samick's indonesian factory make Ibanez btw?

 

[RyanZ]

I would like to visit the factory too. Did'nt know that it is in Surabaya. I actually missed a business trip there last month. If it is really in Surabaya, I will find some ways to go there

What I know is Samick Indonesia make guitars for Epiphone.

Used to, I think. The Samick-made Epiphones were known to be excellent, but I don't think any Epiphones are made in Indonesia anymore. Mostly China and Korea.

Ibanez has a standalone factory in Indonesia I think. But I don't really have a good impression on Ibanez's Indonesia factory... Played an Indonesian-made Ibanez ICT700 (it cost $1.7K) and it was the worst guitar I've ever played. But oh well, might be an isolated incident.
