Were you kidding about the China sticker...? The trained woodworkers, many of whom were violin makers, are really upping the game. I'd rather have an Eastman OM than a lot of American guitars I can think of (don't worry, I won't start). Apparently no one has told the Chinese they can't build a quality instrument for under a grand. I can remember paying $400 for a Blueridge in the early 90s just because it had a solid top.
