Half the distance to the goal line will never get you into the endzone.
Keep making these changes and you still will never have the real thing.

Same could be said of Gibson low to mid tier.

I mean that's usually the mentality but with these Epis IMO your getting a better Gibson than most Gibsons on average most could afford short of spending 2,500 to 3,000 bucks. In some cases these are more real than the real thing compared to Gibsons low to mid tier.


So yeah kind of more real than the real thing......


Pretty much these Epiphones are just Gibsons made in China....... it's like they got one of the places that makes the best Chibsons to make the best they can under the Epiphone/Gibson name.

But I hear what your saying though......



They always say your getting the most accurate, closest woopty woop..... and then they change it again.....


Last Reissues same deal.....


Next an Epiphone with authentic Gibson Font name and even more authentic headstock....... I mean I really think maybe the next step is phasing out some of this higher tier Epi stuff to Gibsons low to mid tier....... At some point Gibsons are probably going to be made overseas to some degree whether Indonesia or China like Fender has their imports I figure.

They are already practically Gibsons just made overseas anyways.
