Where are ESP guitars made, and are there sweatshops involved?
LTD Guitars are usually made in Indonesia or Korea. Custom ESP’s and other High end ESP’s are made in Japan. As far as I know, there are no sweat shops or anything involved. The LTDs are mostly factory made, with some hand assembly, done on an assembly line. High end ESPs and customs are hand made in Japan by highly skilled luthiers, hence why they are very expensive.
