A while back there was a heated debate about buying american vs foreign rods.
For those of you that complain that America doesn't make anything heres a story to let you know why. Our own government is more worried about protecting Indian trade laws, Indian workers and raiding a famed American guitar maker, than making India submit to fair trade. Its ok to import a fret board made in india but not the blank its made from? BULLSHIT.
So maybe the reason its hard to buy american is because our government is more interested in enforcing the internal laws of a foreign country than leveling the playing field.
Don't get me started on how it seems to be targeted enforcement (and this admin claims is business friendly?)/
