Made in Taiwan

[Shep]

I Was looking in the gut's of a studio 22 the other day and that was written on the Circuit borad..What gives????

 

[trem]

:shock:

 

[Shep]

it was printed into the board too! so it's REAL!

I would assume to mean that the circuit board itself was maybe outsourced to an outside vendor in Taiwan. Legally, you could have foreign made components & assemble it in the US & still put a "Made in the USA" label on your product, or visaversa...

Only a certain amount of the product's content can come from foreign sources for the product to say "Made in USA" on it.

If there's more foreign content than that it would need to say "Assembled in USA" or something to that effect.

Mesa hasn't made their own PCBs in many years.

"Handbuilt In Petaluma, CA" !!!

There is nothing wrong with a PCB made in Taiwan. They have been the leader in this domain for decades.

 

[Don]

If you notice, the trannies, capacitors and some other tone shaping items say "Made In USA" on them.

As long as the PCB is made to MESA's specs, it doesn't matter where it's made.

There you Go.. So when was the point they crossed over? mk III red stripe?
