    I love this community because I’m learning a lot about where stuff is from. Case in point, I was going to suggest Ibanez and found out it’s Japanese lol

      I’ve played an Ibanez SR 300 bass on stage for years. I tried many others but nothing feels or sounds as good to me.

    This is exactly what we should do for now - post every single post both here on Lemmy and on Reddit and we should constantly remind people that they have to switch to Lemmy!

      Speaking of excellent chinese guitars; Eastman acoustics are incredibly good.

    What EU brand would I be looking for if I wanted to buy a decent beginner friendly hollowbody?

      Honestly I can warmly recommend the Thomann house brand, Harley Benton. The dirt cheap, entry level ones are on par with beginner models from known bands, and if you splurge a little more and get one of their nice ones, you’ll have a really fine instrument for the price of the beginner model in the known brands.

      They’re German and the reason it’s so cheap is they have 0 layers in the pipeline, they “manufacture” and sell directly. Most of their own brands punch well above their weight, but you should still look at the reviews etc for your specific item of choice.

          Yeah for sure, and some of it is just curated OEM stuff they slap their logo on, but still the point stands. If you want manufactured in EU prices aren’t gonna be the same.

      Hagström viking. Hagström alvar.

      But they are only an EU-brand, not actually made in EU.

      Thomann’s house brand Harley Benton has some good guitars. Not sure about hollowbody guitars, but I have a semihollow guitar from HB that I play quite a lot and has good build quality.

    Manson guitars are from the UK.

    Also there are several Japanese guitar companies - sure they’re not European, but at least they’re not American. Examples would be Ibanez, ESP, Yamaha.

        I think Gibson has legitimately sunk in quality and is a shell of its former self, I’m not convinced Fender has. It is my understanding that QC slipped a bit during the pandemic and some instruments in rough shape left the factory, but I’ve seen reports of them honoring their warranty and replacing them with perfect instruments. I personally don’t need another Fender, my '96 fat strat is still fit for purpose.

        it’s not a production or design issue (and there are many)

        it’s just that for some reason the quality control has sunk to levels that have become unacceptable
