I see that there is a new Malibu SCE with a significant price drop, by about $200.

Does anybody know if there are any differences in manufacturing between these new Malibus and ones that have been out for the last few years?

Does a price drop that large reflect the quality of the instrument?

I like the ones I've played in the past, but I'm hesitant to order one if it won't be the same quality.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

John

Thanks for your reply.

I have since found out that the new SCE is made in China and not Korea. And, there HAS been a $200 price drop.

The list price for the Korean Malibu was around $770, and sold for $550.

The list for the new Chinese model is $550, while the sale price is $379.

I ended up just getting a used Korean model through eBay. At least I know I like that version.
