Thanks Sgt. Pepper. Now let's see "dear Santa I've been really good this year. So just to make it easy for you I'm sending coordinates for Bozeman Montana...."lol

They're actually making epiphone Texans in one of gibsons American locations but they are pricey.

Well said.

Hello kidblast. Don't get me wrong I know that gibson are leaps and bounds above epiphone. However there are some on here who act a as if their very existence depends upon owning nothing but gibson. In other words they try to impress everyone by saying i won't buy anything but gibson. Epiphone are not just plywood guitars. Any way i meant no harm with my little rant. Really just find a guitar you like to play which sounds good and don't worry about the name on headstock or where it was made.

first of all I like gibson and would love to have one. However i don't have an extra $3000 laying around to buy one . I graduated from college in 2004 and my wife bought me a guitar as a graduation gift because I had always wanted to play one. I taught myself how to play and it sounds great. Guess what kind it is. Its a gibson/epiphone. Its made to gibson specs and inspected by gibson luthiers. So the seller was correct calling it a gibson because it was made by gibson.

this can't be a gibson unless it has magic inicorn dust sprinkled on it. Thats what makes gibson so much better than everything else in the world. Even though they are made to gibson specs and inspected by gibson luthiers epiphones just aren't as good as gibson. Something else besides the unicorn dust that makes gibson so much better is that enormous price tag they all have.
