Bedell has stopped production in Asia and these are the last ones being liquidated. All 2014 Bedell guitars are being made in Bend, Oregon. Are they better than the new yamahas? Having not played a yamaha or a bedell, I have no idea. The limited user experience that I've researched online seems to indicate most, but not all, have had a good experience with the Bedell guitars made overseas. Looking just at the specifications, the fact that you can get an all solid wood guitar with ebony fretboard and bridge for $300-$500 seems a pretty good deal.
