Does it really matter if your guitar is made in China

Chinese, Korean, and Indonesian guitars are very easy to find but not Japanese guitars.

I have not seen any Japanese guitars.

I have never met a guitar I didn't like except the ones they sell in WalMart.

Guitars are sold at WalMart. Dang I didn't know that. They must be pretty cheap then. Next time I'm in the States I'll stop in at a WalMart store.

Heh, there are those "starter pack" guitar/amp/cord sets that they sell around Xmas. Don't expect to find a ES-175 at Walmart.

My early 70s Epiphone which was stolen was a Matsumoku made Japanese guitar. Seen any Arias, Epis, from the 70s or Washburns?... Vantage? Could be Japanese-
