I have a late 80's Epi standard that I've had since new and it's awesome.

Some Epis are awesome, its just a shame they let some rubbish through the net because it is a fairly large percentage.
I was thinking about the current market with this stuff, it seems Korea is the new Japan and China is the new Korea. Whilst Japan is now in some cases as good as the US stuff.
Looking at the Tokai range, in this country there seems to be a lot of Chinese made Tokai but we are reassured it is overlooked by Japanese quality control.

i played an epiphone elitist sg that i loved. a different class than any of the regular assed episgs ive played.

the lp's would probably be the same, but all the elitist solidbodies seem to be hard to find these days.

Hit and miss. They have some quality but then you get disappointed because they screw something up so badly the negative outweighs all the positives.
