I refuse to buy a guitar, any brand, that’s made in China. Maybe I’m being shortsighted. I can deal with Guitars made at Korean factories as I know that there’s only a few factories that make them and they all have strict quality control standards. I’m OK with my GNL tribute being made in Indonesia. The quality is great. I have no issues with it whatsoever. But I don’t care what the price is on.l a Chinese made Heritage 150. I wouldn’t buy it. Also, I think it’s very ugly with those stripes on the finish. YMMV
