This is totally true. It’s possibly why Yamaha and Sire own and run their own factories. Similarly, PRS will be hardcore about that with Cort while Fender and G&L… won’t

Actually now that G&L is dead maybe Cort will start making Cort-branded Tributes. This would be super cool. I bet they do, they have all the tooling already.

That would be so cool, I doubt that Cort can do that though.

Yeah clearly not unless literally no one owns the rights after the liquidation.

So, you think that CORT will test whether Fender is litigious enough to protect the intellectual property they recently purchased?

Boeing outsources the majority of their parts. Without having an insider’s view of how a proper QA system works, most folks struggle to imagine how it really works.
Amazing how many people will think that geography has more to do with quality than the actual mechanics of the statistics and calibrated instruments that are TRACABLE TO A KNOWN STANDARD.

No Cort makes their Squiers for them. It’s probably the only reason Squier is good now.

I’ll just agree directly, I like it alot, specially after putting Glockenklang electronics in it

I don’t know that brand! I do know many people seek out Korean made instruments though. They are generally considered somewhere between Made in Indonesia and MIJ for quality.
ESP used to make their LTD line there, which are great.

thats very understandable, they went under like 20 years ago very little info to be found on these instruments online, though what I have been able to find is positive
