Indonesian society has long been acquainted with musical instruments, a heritage traceable to the classical (Hindu-Buddhist) period and preserved in artifacts discovered to this day.

The Prambanan Shiva Temple (a 9th-century Hindu sanctuary)
and Borobudur (an 8th-century Mahayana Buddhist monument)
feature hundreds of sculpted reliefs that illustrate the enduring evolution of Indonesian music.
So, it is not surprising to say that Indonesian people have long been guitarists and have been able to create their own guitar.

Indonesian people have a way with handicraft, especially if you want to search for artisan guitars.
Also, there are many local guitar brands offering exceptional quality, although less well known by the world.
This proves that local guitars can compete with international guitar brands.
