country of made doesnt dictate the quality.
One of the reason reason why certain guitar makers shift their manufacturing plant to those countries are prolly due to lower manufacuring cost due to cheap land, labours and operating cost.
As long as the raw material, manufacturing process, quality control etc are of certain standard, a well made geetar can be achieved.
anyway, you will prolly see lotsa response like the above soon... hehe

Country of origin doesn't affect quality.
What affects quality:
- Quality standards set by a guitar company.
- Quality standards set by a guitar-making factory.
- Strictness of inspection at factories.
- The condition of a guitar when it arrives after shipping.
Generally, Korean made guitars are more expensive than Indo and Chinese made guitars, but frankly I'll play any guitar that is good, whether it's Chinese, Indo, Korean, Japanese, American, Martian, Venusian...

China FTW! 
Almost all my guitars are MIC and one MII. To date, I've never had any neck breaks, popped-out frets or any QC-related issues. It's also about how you take care of your guitar. It can be made in the Garden Of Eden for all I care, but if you do not know how to take care of it, you might just end up blaming the country's poor workmanship.
Mirrorboy - Korea may be the most developed, but after seeing the video about the Cort company in Korea, it seems they are not the "brightest" of people. =/

I own a korean Ibanez RG. I tried and dismantle an indo RG. I can tell u.. from those 2, the indo ones actually have way better QC. Either that or my RG's a lemon.
Tone is in your fingers. I personally feel that 3 of the countries make the same standard guitars. Some might say korea is better though. Because of super junior and SNSD influence?
if snsd were to be the spokespersons of a guitar i would certainly buy it and it would be the best guitar ever.

My China-made Ibanez Gio has never given me any problems, even after several years of regular playing and even a live performance. Who ever performs with an Ibanez Gio? Well, I did! And I was absolutely confident in it. I did not worry at all regarding my guitar.

The reason why your friends would make such a comment, is probably isolated cases they've experienced, or just impressionistic judgments.
Why they would propogate that "if you have money go American" is the matter of fact that it is the country of origin of the brand, thus logically thinking, it is "the best". But do take note that it does not determine quality, or tone, or what ever you think it propogates.
Indonesians have a long history of woodworking, as do the Japanese, but when we buy guitars we trust America more..? Why? Doesn't make sense now does it..?
Production guitars, irregardless of origin, brand, make, are all individuals. Like how same parents, different children. I've yet to hear 2 EXACTLY IDENTICAL guitars before. Same same, but different << hiakz hiakz... ^.^
Like how samurai's used to pick out their swords, pick a guitar that best suits you. Next time anyone asks you the brand, say, custom ^.^

TS, is there anything specific that you're trying to compare assuming several things constant;
a) Selection of Wood (same wood type, age range of wood, way it is cut, same amount of moisture content, and number of pieces making up the body)
b) Design model range (i.e. Beginners Strat Range, Intermediate semi hollow range)

I'd stay away from the Korean Cort guitars, seeing how they treat their factory workers.
