: The guitar that i have was made in china but it plays and looks great(it is a Johnson guitar).I was wondering if any other brand is made in china and if they are, are they of bad quality? It just sort of bothered me because my guitar is really nice but it was made in china. does it matter?

I'm a retired pro musician and have been playing guitar for nearly 40 years now and I recently acquired a Fender Squire Telecaster that has 'Crafted in China' on the back of the headstock. The guitar is far from being a cheap, bottom-line student model! It is extremely well-built and the quality is that of a top-of-the-line model in both looks and sound. I compared it to an American-made '52 Telecaster reissue and the only noticable difference between the two was the US model's much, much higher price tag. It just goes to show that money doesn't always buy the best. So, don't let the 'Made in China' put you off buying a well made guitar.
