Hi drednut,
All of the higher end DeArmond guitars were made in Korea at the Cort factory. Only the lower end models with bolt-on necks were made in Indonesia. None of the set-neck models were made in Indonesia. Interestingly, Fender also used the Cort factory to manufacture the "lower end " (i.e., ~ $1000) Gretsch models.
Korean made DeArmonds: Jetstar, Jetstar Bass, 7-Star, Bajo Jet, M70, M72, M75, M75T, M77, M77T, S73, S7312, Starfire Special, Starfire Classic, Starfire Bass, X135, X145, X155 & T-400. The Pilot Plus, Pilot Pro Pro and Pilot Deluxe along with the Ashbory Bass were made in Korea.
