I've had Indonesian Ibanez basses that were fantastic. I don't know how much truth there is in this, but I was once told that the Indonesian guitar builders take pride in the quality of their product: quality is more important than production numbers, as compared to China where production numbers have been more important than QC.  If it's from the same people that build Ibanez I'd expect it to be a good guitar.

I've been a fan of Indonesian guitars for a long time, and in particular, the two Indonesian Hamers that I own are better guitars than the Korean Hamers I've had, and honestly, sit right there with the US stuff that I own.  I've got a couple US Hamers that will be sold off before those Indonesian models.
