thanks Peter for your quick answer i think epi makes very good guitars from 200$ to 3000$ whatever there are made i bought my first epi in 1996, korean made i think, it was a les paul custom, sold in 2000 since 2000 till now, i switched to fender japan and only japan, strats , tele and jazzmaster, very good stuff but the wire, sometimes wasn't very good and these guitars were not cheap four months ago, i decided to try several hollow body in France (hamer echotone, several ibanez archtop from as73 to as103, hagström, and some duesenberg), my conclusion is the best price quality guitars still epi for an hollow body especially the dot My only concern about epi, it's not my feeling but the feeling of several french music store is that gibson and epi guitars become more and more hard to find in Europe

i add some information the seller told me he thought that my epi was made in the "samick greg bennet" factory in indonesia according to a gibson representative in europe but he was not sure

hi i just bought a new epiphone dot vintage sunburst 2 days ago in a french music store my serial is 0811230878, so this guitar was made in indonesia in November 2008 i try several dot and sheraton II in the store, almost 5, 3 dot and 2 sheraton, the dot i choose was perfect, and it was the only one who has been made in indonesia, the others was made in china and don't sound very well or were not finished as good as my dot so my question is : do you have information on the factory 23 ?
