    IBG made in China - Dip in Quality?

    I haven't noticed a dip. In fact to my eyes and ears my Chinese epis seem a cut above Indonesians. I don't buy into the emotional and political crap. A good guitar is a good guitar.

    New member from Peru – Epiphone IBG Hummingbird

    I have the Chinese Model Hummingbird and have absolutely no complaints. My suggestion is to buy a guitar by the sound and not emotions or politics. I have had many Epis from Indonesia and they are mostly hit and miss. My current Epi is fault free with a sound to die for. I've been at this for...

    2013 Epi ES-339 pickups? Also: string gauge to use

    A little late, but I use 11's exclusively on my 339. I keep a very low action though. I also replaced the stock pickups as I found the Classic Pros a little muddy.

    Epiphone j-45

    I have an Epi J45. While it's true they aren't a loud instrument, they definitely are more balanced than any Martin I've ever owned. They are all solid wood as well, and of course very inexpensive.

    My New ES 339

    Honest question >> How do people afford very expensive guitars?

    Well I don't and I'm not a liar. I live a simple life on a senior pension. I no longer chase the headstock. There was a time of course when that wasn't the case.

    So I decided to adjust my pickups and pole pieces…

    I adjusted my pole pieces today and damn if I didn't scratch my pickup cover. Guitar sounds great but that bloody scratch is going to haunt me now.

    Epiphone Studio worthwhile?

    I picked up a mint condition 2003 Studio the other day. Very much worth the $350.00 I paid for it. I like it better than the two Gibson Studios i used to have.
