Just to be correct, there was quite a gap in US production, around two years if I recall, before Cordoba got the Oxnard plant up and running. This was when they launched the Westerly Series that was made in China. So in that respect, they did ship all production to China.

IMHO the early post fender Westerly builds are some if the best that came out of that factory. I owned two, a D55 and a D40. They were both better sounding than the two similar Gruhn/Walkers I owned.best quote. and there are many quotable nuggets in Al's super-appropriate rant.
hear, hear!
