Ibanez: ~$800+
Really? I don't understand how they're selling Indonesian or Chinese guitars for almost that much then, unless people really don't care anymore. Not that they can't be decent guitars - my Indo RG7321 is nice after a pickup swap - but that was $200 at a pawn shop.

Jackson really needs to figure out a way to improve the quality of their non-MIJ imports and find some middle ground with pricing, because Japanese labor costs aren't going to go back down. Maybe it's time for them to revisit Korean production.
