look at each other..
An Epiphone is far better value for money than a Gibson I think. There's not much difference between them and Gibsons, unlike Fender where there is a hugh gap between Squiers and Fenders, although that wasn't always the case with Japanese Squiers.
I disagree. Play an EPI LP and then a Studio Gibson Les Paul; no comparison. Nevermind the custom series (the real Gibsons IMO).
I can't speak for Squiers since I'ver never played one. But as much as I love strats, there isn't a big gap in quality between the Mexicans and the American ones; For double the price of a mexi you get an identical looking guitar who's body was taken from a nicer section of the same slab of wood and finished in a thinner (less tone sucking but easier to damage) finish material. Am I missing something?
