The American built stuff was almost military spec.
It was boring to look at, functioned like Army gear, but it always delivered and still does.
What changed was buyers, they got more stupid as people got more stupid.
Put some bling on, sling it together in China pile it high sell it low and everyone raves about it, until it breaks mid gig, then you wish you had kept that 20 year old American peavey head.
Buyers lost the concept of durability and well built as opposed to trendy and cheap
The market changed, blurb and bling is king now.
Performance and durability come last.
