It's made in Korea. I just tried one that was already assembled (at Guitar Store Cheras) . Sounds pretty decent actually. Rather fascinating though I'm not much into DIY soldering! The guitar feels nice to me though. And yes, for the price.

cool! that SAGA one offers a variety of options! but damn it, as usual dissapointment, they don't have a lefty model! a bit expensive than Swing Guitar, but worth it, coz we can still modify the headstock, do the finishing, etc...
