Anybody else notice the Korean made versions seemed far superior? The tuners seemed better as they didn’t feel light and held tune fine. The maple caps were thicker. I measured a few mm thicker on the cap. The cosmetics on the older ones seem better with better matching of the mahogany pieces to hide the seams and 5 parts of the head stock. Small details like cavity covers were flushed to the guitar.
The Indonesian seem “cheaper”…but still play great, which I guess is all that matters. I would say the major improvement now is the core nut and headstock overlay. The color is all preference.
