Part I: Its a great idea to take advantage of Asian manufacturing, but calling it handmade in the USA afterwards is deceitful, and last I checked somewhat illegal.
Part II: You don't think bodies matter? Bodies matter much more than you might think, though Chinese bodies with some modification can be made decent. i.e. not those thin shitty pieces that feel/look like aluminum cans.
Part III: I dont know enough about Peluso, so correct me if Im wrong. But isn't the whole mic chinese, except he reskins and sputters the capsule? (and assumably he replaces some components) Im pretty sure all the machining is chinese though. (if someone knows about the guts if they're chinese american or hybrid please chime in.)
