The majority of people would think that a cheap guitar comes with low quality and is poorly manufactured. Perhaps some people would also immediately dislike it if they knew that it was not a US made guitar. One may have never considered buying Chinese or Korean made guitars or any other cheap guitar, until now.

There are a lot of huge guitar manufacturers that have already started making guitars in China, India and Korea in order to provide cheaper and affordable guitar for ordinary guitar players. Extra details about this are discussed at http://guitar.wikia.com/wiki/Guitar_Wiki. Not all people can afford a Fender or Gibson guitar which costs over $2000 and there is now a relatively wide market for affordable guitars which only costs about $400 or less.

The majority of models of cheap guitars are now being manufactured in Korea. Even reputable guitar manufacturers in the US are now having their cheaper guitars manufactured in Korea and others in India. One of the reasons for lowering guitar prices is the low cost of labor that definitely helps in producing cheaper and more affordable guitars, but that is not all.

If you are wondering how it is that some guitars can be shockingly expensive while others can be really cheap, there are a lot of factors in order to determine the manufacturing price of a guitar. You can go here or continue below for some of the factors that you should consider in identifying the guitar manufacturing price:

1. The actual guitar manufacturing process is a factor that can make a guitar expensive or cheap. This is a question of whether the guitar was hand-made or was manufactured in a highly computerized and automatic guitar factory. Guitars that are hand-made are typically more expensive than those that are made in automatic factories. This is because the manual labor in hand-made guitars makes them have a higher quality.

2. The quality of materials that are being used in making the guitar is also another factor to determine the price of a guitar. The wood used for making the guitar as well as the paints and finishes are all being considered. Cheaper guitars are usually just made of cheaper woods such as plywood. On the other hand, more expensive guitars are typically made with quality woods such as alder, rosewood or mahogany.

3. The quality of electronics and hardware that goes with the used electric guitar is also an important factor to determine the guitar's price. Cheap guitars would also have cheap stock pickups, tuners and bridge. Hardware and electronics that are of good quality are usually for expensive guitars.
