HowieBass Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 No mention of the Matsumoku factory which is where the Japanese Westones were made? Aria too for that matter. Having said that, if the list was published around 1989, Westone production had moved to Korea after production ended in Japan in about 1988.
