    American made guitars are still some of the best. Fender, Gibson, PRS, Collings and more. All USA made and BIFL.

    PS: Ukuleles from Hawaii (the “k” brands).

    EDIT for clarity: I am specifically referring to the USA made models. Many companies, including Fender, Gibson and PRS (not Collings) sell less expensive models made in other countries.

      A lot of fender guitars/basses are made in Indonesia and Mexico. Hell, some of the best fenders ever made were made in Japan and are highly sought after.

      Same thing with Gibson. The others I don’t have any knowledge of.

      Lodge is pretty good, but the best cast iron is the old stuff. Most of mine has come from thrift shops.

        Yes. I had a pan for almost 20 years and it was never great. In desperation I sanded it smooth.

        Turns out that was the problem. New pans aren’t sanded as part of their manufacturing.
