No. Not implying that one is better based on the name. Just admitting to my own superficial tendencies in that it saying the name brand that is recognized is more important than country of origin.
And I think Guild still falls under that category of just as good or better at a fraction of the cost. Like I mentioned, side by side, my NS starfire V was a better instrument than the very nice 335 I was comparing it to. AND it came with a reputable brand name that has history and pedigree.
I guess I was trying to say that the fact they’re made in Korea doesn’t bother me the way it seems to bother others. But perhaps I misunderstood what was initially being said.
