Some Taiwanese-made guitars are extremely good quality. My original Pacifica 112, which I bought in 1995, got played every day by me for 4 years, then got sold to a friend and sat in a damp cupboard until 2 years ago, when it was sold to another friend. It's now his main guitar and has given precisely no trouble - no warping, no finish problems, no electric problems, no loose frets (although it's now in need of a bit of a refret) - It's a seriously well-made guitar. Same goes for my current Pacifica 812 - those guys really know how to put a guitar together.
