BECAUSE IT DOESNT FRIGGING MATTER WHERE ITS MADE
Edit: OK wine. After thinking about it, people do care about the location of wine more than guitars.
I'd guess Indonesia. Or maybe China. My epi 59 Lp is china made and one of the best guitars I've ever touched. Obviously the trolls aren't very smart if they're expecting USA, Japan, or even Korea at this price point.
I've been collecting guitars for 30 years. I have Strats MIA, MIM, and MIJ. I have Epiphones made everywhere. I have Gibsons, including high-end Custom Les Pauls, I have Gretsch's, PRS's, and others. Some of the "Not made in the USA's" are excellent guitars. IMHO, the best made guitar I own is probably the Strat MIJ! Best F&F of any guitar I own. Perfect setup, intonation, fretwork, etc. right out of the box. I recently read that a Fender exec and a floor supervisor were heard saying that they better get their "stuff" together because many of the MIM Strats and Teles were now equal to, and sometimes BETTER than the MIA models, and that Mex and USA often swap parts depending on inventory needs. So just for the hell of it I bought another Strat (MIM) because it was on sale for a price I couldn't resist (and I didn't have one that color!). SOME of my MIA's are better, but some are NOT.
Of course it's POSSIBLE that YMMV.

That's not to say you won't find a jem mii or mic Squier, but would need to go through a whole bunch more than say a mia

My absolute favorite Epi from the last few years has been the Inspired by Gibson J-200 acoustic. It's made in Indonesia and the build quality is mind blowing. I literally didn't even have to set it up- it was perfect out of the box.
That being said, this 335 is a great deal, but I did not like the laquered neck, and the pickups aren't the best. In this price range, you may want to see if that Gretsch Rat Rod is still $499 in another thread. It's a much better instrument and a much better value at the price.
