Let us know how you like the Swingster. I've had my eye on them because of their superficial resemblance to the Gretsches.

The Unsung Korean and Samick Epiphones are great.

I think you may be wrong on this Ricochet.
As far as I was aware' date= the actual "Elitist" brand is for Export market and the "Elite" brand for internal Japanese market. If you go to www.gakki.com you will see that your the Elite models for sale....[/quote]
Yikes! My world is crumbling apart!

Thanks for the thoughtful reply, Nelson. I'll check my two "Made in USA" guitars tomorrow". And I will copy your response into my "Sheraton" database. :-)

I'm considering buying a 1990-91 ? sheraton. Says made in USA. It has mini humbuckers and inside the guitar it has a Gibson/kalamazoo sticker. The guitar is perfect..better than any epiphone I've seen or played. Can someone out there help me with identifying this guitar and it's origin? Someone said this is pre-elitist so....???
Good idea. Very nice guitars. Probably built in Japan and finished (hardware etc.) in the USA. Mine said "Assembled" rather than "Made", as in "some assembly required" (attaching the metal parts and electronics).

God' date=' look at this abomination:

Although I would like to buy a LP and see how bad it is...
If they had a Rickenbacker 325, I'd buy it.

Looking around the guitarofchina site' date=' I see that there is no relationship
whatsoever between their price and the price of the genuine article. A
$300 Squier Strat????!!!![/quote']
And a Gibson double cut that lists for $529, discounted by another $200? Maybe these are Chinese counterfeits of Chinese counterfits. I'll wait for the 4th generation of counterfeits. They ought to come in at less than $100.
Peter Townshend would have saved a bundle if he had waited and used one of those guitars for his closing number at each concert.

"I can see how they would fool the novice or beginning player. Hell' date=' if I hadn't read so much on this and other forums, I would be hard pressed to tell real from fake. Unless you look at the SG with a Les Paul Custom TRC."
do you mean this:
http://www.guitarofchina.com/product_info.php?cPath=150&products_id=5711
because if so, gibson SG customs DO come with a Les Paul TRC...and 99% of the photos on that site are actual
gibsons from the MF site...[/quote']
Isn't that special. They not only copy the guitars, the hijack the pictures of the actual guitars they are copying and place them on their website.
