Looks like their whole line is now manufactured in Indonesia -- hence the "lower cost" but still like 2-3K.   It think it will take some time for people to believe that guitars made in Indonesia can be great and worth $3K.   Clearly China has shown that they are capable of making great instruments, but the real issue is resale value.  Once people hear it's made in Asia somewhere -- unless it is Japan -- they balk at higher prices.
