ps 246 ect were they made any where but japan?

[john.w.lawson]

I was just wondering if the ps guitars were made anywhere else besides japan?

Conflicting information indicates either Korea or Indonesia. It'd be tough to determine on a PS-4 due to the offset dots, but on the other models, wider dot spacing on the 12th and 24th frets means non-Japanese construction.

Thanks bro,you always have the skinny on these j/c guitars.looks like i bought on that was not japan made,atleast from the photos?:think:

The Japanese built PS4 is easy to spot.
Look at the electronics cavity cover.
If it has a recessed Ontario or SD route, it is Japanese.
If it has a bastardized looking SD route or a non recessed rear plate, it's Korean or Indonesian.
This is the bastardized route I'm talking about... these are not MIJ.

Yea my ps-4 was mij for sure I was really thinking more about the ps-2 that i just bought and have not gotten yet....but maybe it will be ok after some fine tunning? if not well theres always:think::think::think::think::think::think:

What if the trem cavity cover is not routed, but it has a Made in Japan sticker on it?

Mine is routed on the control cover, not the trem cavity....and I doubt if anyone took the time to put a MIJ sticker on it. Quality of it overall is very good.

Hey Cyg... I only noticed the control cavity cover difference.
Never paid any attention to the trem cover.

Cool.
