Guitars made in Asia (doors, Russian, volume, high quality, classic)

Like anything else in the states, guitars mostly come from Asia. I own 2 made in Korea. Since a guitar is a somewhat delicately made and shaped instrument, how much damage can be done to one that was made in Asia and transported to the States?

One problem is the dampness and moisture of Asia. The wood is very damp, and will warp once it is in a dry place. I've heard of people taking their guitars to places like Utah and Nevada and the necks would warp immediately.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Are you asking a question or making a statement?

Well there are periods, then there is also a question mark.

Don't be a ****. The way your phrased your second paragraph, implies that the first may have been a rhetorical question.

Now that we've established that, read my above post.

Question marks and periods have lost thier meaning?

That was a statement if you didn't know.

if the dampness and moisture from asia was going to affect the build of your guitar it would be warped and messed up upon arrival into north america.

while it's possible for a neck to get warped it's generally due to extreme variations in temperature and/or neglect (not necessarily intentional).

consider how most people move guitars from point A to point B, being left inside a sealed black case inside a sealed trunk. ever sit in a car without a/c in a parking lot on a hot day in july? and that's with the window down... now consider the temperature inside a case inside the trunk... can you say homemade oven?

i think honestly that just listening to both answer and question here that in my honest opinon it would make no sense to get something that will inevitably be a problem.

if the actual issue was guitars made in asia as opposed to improper care by the owners the guitars would not be sold overseas.

people need to get over their prejudices.
