Country of Manufacture - Various Guitar Makes

[straycat]

MIJ RG's are all over the map price wise you just have to look.I'm all about getting one at a bargain price.Over $300.00 it would have to be desert yellow to get my attention.

I just sold a US Made Jackson AT-1 for about $500 (I forget the exact price after shipping and stuff). It's just an obscure model, but it's a VERY high quality guitar for the money. It was in excellent shape, too. Mine had the Wilkinson trem on it and was a solid color, but you can get them with a hard tail and transparent finishes, too.

I don't think I'd ever buy a new guitar. The 'first owner' premium is nothing I care about.
