As you've seen, the top makers are all building in the US. Martin has even begun an "E" series of guitars, made with only woods not on the endangered lists. (They are still permitted to 'make' guitars from endangered woods that they had in their drying sheds, but they no longer import these woods.)
Yamaha and Fender are made in several different countries. I really do wonder who the Gibson folks angred. I'm not all that fond of Gibson's personnel policies, nor their marketing methods, but they still put out quality instruments.
