Where they diverge for me is the Trem. The STD trem was awful on the prototypes I had cross my desk. Noisy, poor return to pitch and generally bad finishing. I flagged this up and they were going to improve it... but tbh, since L6 UK folded I haven’t really had anything to do with it. However, it doesn’t look too different in the pics...
The Korean build quality was excellent on the JTVs (built by World Guitars - PRS SE, Schecter, ESP, etc etc) and the QC processes in Europe and the US facilities meant they *all* were checked and set up before going to the shops. I don’t know the STDs have those set up/QC stages any more - I know that the guys I employed to do it have been laid off. Down side was that some were a bit heavy... and as I say the neck profiles (and tall frets) weren’t universally liked.
