Is Korean made guitar better than American made guitar?

Generally speaking, no. When it comes to guitar quality there are always exceptions, but for mass produced brands, the top models almost always come from America (generally more skilled craftsmanship: more attention to detail, less assembly line). The top Fender guitars, for example, are American made, and consequently significantly more expensive. That doesn't mean that they are inherently better than their Mexican made brothers, but that they tend to be crafted in a more quality controlled environment. That being said, the guitar is a very personal instrument, they change guitar to guitar for the same model. It's all about the connection between the guitar and the player: what feels right and what sounds best to them.

Electric guitar strings are typically made of steel and have a thinner gauge compared to acoustic guitar strings, which are usually made of bronze or phosphor bronze. Electric guitar strings also have magnetic properties that allow them to be picked up by the guitar's pickups, producing a louder and more amplified sound. Acoustic guitar strings are designed to produce a more natural and resonant sound without the need for amplification.
