Korean I believe

 

Jen from the Downbeat 5 plays Italia guitars and according to her they play well and they do sound good.

I have wondered the same thing about them. I dod know that Corey over at Rock City Guitars in Somerville, MA has had them in his store. He is always very quick with the skinny on just about anything and a very good guy.

He posts here once in a while and may find this post, if not try him at www.rockcityguitars.com

good luck

 

I had a gold Maranello bass. Played awesome, sounded really good. Came to find I didn't like the way it hung in standing playing position (1st position felt too far away for my comfort) so I sold it.

 

+1 Exactly, for me. I even went as far as rigging something around the 12th fret to have it hang better. The pickups on the Maranello gave a lot of tonal options and it sounded great. The Mondial intrigues me as well, but haven't had the opportunity to play one.
