My family is going to China soon. Does anyone know where the Squire factory is & whether they give tours?

I believe it's in Indonesia?

Well, I guess if you had any children, you could offer that they work themselves half to death for free in the sweatshops in exchange for a tour.
No, wait, they are going to be doing that anyways.

isn't that kind of like going to the slaughter house to see how your steak is made?

I toured the Gibson factory in Memphis, it was pretty cool.
But Squier? I doubt they're letting outsiders into the factories. PR is not something they probably have to deal with overseas, so I doubt provisions have been made for interested tourists. They're just too busy. Probably.
But try their website anyway, they might.

plus I doubt there is a "squier factory"..... It doesn't work like that, most of asia crafted guitars are made in the same factories.... I know for sure that some cort and tanglewood guitars are made in the same factory...
