If any of you guys are getting short on storage space, I have plenty.
I am. The only problem is all of my guitars come with a curse.
Me.....wherever the guitars go I go too. How's the poutine there Jean?

I’ve experienced the “Inspired by” EPI’s to be of great quality. Do I still want the Gibson SG? Yes I do, but I will have to wait.

Well it’s Saturday. Free 2 day shipping my ass! The guitar still hasn’t come. Was supposed to be here Wednesday. Oh well.
You need to try out some 'MiJ' guitars....
You'll forget about wanting any Gibson

Just be careful not to buy lower priced/older guitars that were made in Japan from the 80s to maybe late 90s/early 2000s. There are a lot of Grecos, Arias and other smaller brands that used Sen (google says it’s “castor aralia” in English) which… actually, I’d be surprised if those are still available for sale because I would’ve thought those had disintegrated by now . Just stick with the high end stuff.
for years fucking the same nonsense how many have you bought these flawed Gibsons? go to a big store and try all guitars in every price group and I think 80% will be unusable, or not very comfortable and correctly positioned, and in general you will find some quality blend in at least 20% Smaller or bigger varnish blemishes, unmodified frets. ..a friend bought ESP for almost 2,500 € the guitar went to a luthier to finish it. he could give her back, but would wait 4-6 months for the next one. It happens to every brandEpiphone is killing it lately! I bought 3 really nice Epi's over the last few years, most recent being a new Prophecy LP.
The allure of a Gibson is steadily fading away with all the big YouTubers pointing out QC issues that are unacceptable for guitars at that price point. QC issues that are not easily fixable. And I don't care about resale value because I don't want to sell them. Even if I did need to sell them I will take great care of them and likely not take a major bath on any sale. I'd rather own 3-5 amazing guitars that I might need to upgrade (although I swapped tuners on one of my Epi's, otherwise they are as is and perfect) than 1 guitar that I have so much into I'm afraid to take it out of the case, and later might lose a lot of money on. Will Gibson hold its value? Maybe. Probably. But that's a game for investor types. However, two of my Epi's are limited run signature models that are extremely scarce on the used market and selling for more than I bought them for. I'm keeping them though.
Guitars you have: X
Guitars you need: X+1
Not every 'MiJ' guitar is a good guitar....
Personally I prefer the newer ones,
all of my FGNs I had and have were made 2010 or later

Do you have them all on display or in the cases? That’s a lot of guitars which I think is awesome! That would make a cool room.
I’ve bought 2 Epiphone’s and a Gibson this past month, I’m good till next Christmas! Not really but I’ve been told no more by my wife. Lol
I'm always under the impression that this guy lives on the left coast.
The ones in your avatar ?I know it's not a competition but I've bought 7 Epiphones in the last 8 months ...
