Indonesia (location known to country level only)[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]. Built for 1 brand on record.
Mid-tier guitars from a special facility; operator unverified. Map point is the centre of Indonesia (Mapbox geocoding); the plant's own location is not on record. [2026-10-15 research, llm:claude-sonnet-5-5] Premium line started 2010, in an unnamed 'special facility' (S304, S305, community). A fan site quoting a 2011 promo sheet says the Premium line is 'Made by Ibanez Premium Factory - Operated by Prestige team of Fujigen and Hoshino. Located in Jawa Timur, Indonesia', and says Ibanez partnered with FujiGen to buy part of the factory (S306; community, quote seen only through a summariser, must be re-checked). That points to East Java but names no town or legal entity. Customs aggregators list three Indonesian shippers to Hoshino (U.S.A.) Inc., Ibanez's US importer: PT Cort Indonesia (Kawasan Berikat Ngoro Industri Persada, Ngoro, Mojokerto, S299; same site as P024), PT Woonam Music (Jl. Raya Ngoro No. 334, Ngoro, Mojokerto; Hoshino its top US partner, 149 shipments 2006-11 to 2019-10, also Yamaha; S300, S307; CO087) and PT Saiya Indonesia (Jl. Pangeran Antasari Km 3 No. 29, Jawa Barat; guitars to Hoshino 2026; S301; CO088). Shipment lines are masked or say only 'MUSICAL MERCHANDISE', so none of these is tied to Premium. Fan-wiki serial prefixes: I = Cort Indonesia, K = Kwo Hsaio, J = Sejung, PW = P.T. Woonan Music, Ngoro (2019-present); the six-character Premium serial format ended after 2015 (S308, S305). Candidate operators, all unconfirmed: Cort (P024), Woonam (Ngoro), Saiya, or a separate Ibanez/FujiGen-owned plant in East Java. No production or operation rows were added.
More: every plant in Indonesia, the Ibanez lineage.
Only the country is on record (Indonesia), so the ring sits at its centre. The plant could be anywhere in it. Recorded place[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10].
Every headstock this plant has built for, on record. A contract plant can sit behind several brands at once.
The plant stays the same across these rows; the company behind the name does not.
