Marty Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 If you look at the tiger eye finish (except not the tiger eye color) thats probably why its limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanDaegele Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Gibson/Epiphone - Fender/Squire I actually talked to a guitar salesman today about the difference between the Gibson line, and the Epiphone line. This theory is the same for Fenders vs Squires. The Epiphones are actually made in Asia, and they use cheaper pots and wiring which is why they cost much less than the Gibson brand. He also mentioned that a Gibson Les Paul will typically only have about four sets of hands building it from start to finish, whereas an Epiphone will see about 35-40 employees build it in more of an assembly line fashion. I'm not trying to rip on your Epi, it looks like a very nice piece and I'm sure it sounds great too. I just happen to stumble onto this thread and wanted to pass on what I learned today. As mentioned earlier, the same holds true for the Fender and Squire line. The Squires are built overseas, and the Fenders are built right here in the USA. Keep on playing!
