Sure it does.

I have one to..
Built like sh!t, built from sh!t

Yes indeed, they are crap...!

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

I wouldn't mind playing an Epiphone, but one of those "unknown" brands that lack QC... Nope.

 

[poeman33]

I have two problems with them.

1. They knowingly try to fake. It would be alot better if they called themselves Tang Guitars or The Chinese Guitar Company or something...but they don't...they put Gibson or Fender on the headstock.

2. I just don't trust something that comes out of a country that will knowingly poison their own babies for the sake of a better profit margin. If I have a choice (and alot of time I don't)...I steer clear of made in China.

There might be good ones, but I will never own one.

I wont own a chinese Gibson either. I avoid chinese made products as much as possible. Though i understand the allure of the counterfeits.

I have never had a "forgery" Gibson copy but have had great experiences with Epiphone, most of which are GOOD Chinese Gibson "copies". In fact, in my experience with Epiphone QC is far better than Gibsons, YMMV...

 

[HOT TUBES 70]

All i can say is that you guys better not get on the Tokai's !!!!

I really like mine !!

there better built that might think ...

 

[Oculophilia]

I'm sure some of these counterfeits are being made in the chinese epiphone factories. In a sense it serves gibson right for doing business with china.

 

[SuperBeaver]

I don't mind them. If anyone is dumb enough to buy one they get what they deserve.
With the Internet on hand these days and forums like this to ask as many dumb questions as you like before you buy there is no excuse for such behaviour.

So do I. Anything Chinese I run a mile. I don't care if it's well built. Fuck em.

Anyone in any doubt about whether to buy that piece of shit product check this out...

I've heard stories like this, too. China is getting better and better over the years. I'd honestly prefer to get an Epi LPC over a Gibson because honestly, I'd never spend over $2000 for a guitar.

 

[Oculophilia]

I've never paid over 2000 for a guitar, nor have I had a bad gibson. I always buy used and I always play a guitar before I buy. Buying guitars sight unseen seems a bit crazy to me. Anyway, I have a gibson sg standard and gibson les paul supreme that I am really happy with.

EVERYBODY does business with China
Name a MAJOR guitar company that does not (I'm actually curious) maybe I'll learn something

That is different... They aren't trying to be a Gibson Copy.. They are their own brand.. Like Burny... I have no problem with them... At least the Japan models..

Big difference between Japaneese and Chineese guitars. Japan makes some of the best guitars in the world. Anyone ever played a Yamaha SG? An Edwards Navigator? Stunning.

Japan have decades of guitar building behind them.
