then why do people say that gibsons are better than epis no matter how much you changed the electronics and hardware of the epis with real gibsons. Why can't epis be gibsons- even if they're both made by the same people? The only differences i see are one's made in the US and the other in Asia and one uses a tight grain while the other uses loose grain of wood?

Maybe it is in the finish. Some folks prefer nitrocellulose the best tonewise but to some folks sounds amazing too as long as it is applied properly and very thin- it's also better quality wise because polyurethane is stronger and less resistant to wear than nitrocellulose.
I know that Gibsons spray their lps with nitrocellulose while epis spray theirs with polyurethane.

what do you guys think of this?


"Lets see… well I play the guitar and when I'm not playing the guitar, I think about playing the guitar. My other favorite instrument, is the guitar and if I aspired to play any other instrument, it would be the guitar...

I can’t sing so I sing through my guitar. So when the sound guy says: “Your guitar is too loud!” I think: "Why does he never say that to the vocalist?"
