The Korean made Epi's are some of the best quality instruments you can buy. I believe when Epi moved to China, PRS took over Epi's factory in Korea.
I agree. Both of my Epiphones are great instruments. As I mentioned above, my Dot is one of my favorite guitars. Right now, it's the guitar I've been playing for the past six months. I'm going to take my Les Paul Custom out next (hopefully I can take some good photos of the two Epiphones together).
I was finally able to take a picture of my two Epiphones together. Not a great picture, but it will have to do for now. All I have to do now is make a thread about my new Melody Maker that I just got in a few days ago.
