I've read a lot of opinions where people rate certain cheapo guitars equal or above Epiphone/cheaper Gibsons. From what I've had in my hands, these people have no ears and no eyes or have never actually played or seen the guitar they are comparing the chibson to.
This is so true. The bass player in my band used to swear by Tokai Les Paul copies, and a couple of his were my back-up guitar if my LP BFG broke a string in a gig. But no matter whether Japanese original or Chinese reissue, they couldn't hold a candle to the real thing in terms of playability and sound.

Once you've spent the money on pickups, electrics and set up, you'll still have a slightly poorly put together guitar with shit tuning pegs. Won't that end up being the same price as a s/h GLP anyway?
