Hi, i was scouting the net this morning, my four month's old boy taking a napThere's an italian second hand store called "Mercatino Musicale"There are two les paul models, copies, that look interesting.Onef is a Epiphone.

http://www.mercatino...2159071.htmlThe add says its korean made and very rare.Any thoughts?

The other one says it being a "Jaded"????

Thats what i thought too besides, i tought the reason why they had changed factory location to China was to improve the quality of their guditars right?I thiught it interesting that the guy would say about a low quality guitar being expensive and rare???

Cant read the website, why did they say its rare? I am unsure when Epi moved to China although I do believe it was about 3 years ago. For a used guitar at 350 Euros for a used Epi, thats close to paying 500 USD which is really expensive.

The reason they opened a plant in China was so they could make their own instruments, until then it was all done by contracted facilities that were also producing for other brands, they weren't owned by Epi at all. This is my understanding of the situation.
