Full review...Epiphone ES-339 P90 Pro

It seems as though Epi is hitting their stride at the Quing Dao plant. Compared to what I've seen out of there even three years ago, there's a marked improvement. The finishing, especially, is much improved. Apart from a little goop in the f holes, it's as nice a finish as you'll find on any import.

I'm not sure where my Joe Pass was made but its pretty immaculate for its pricepoint. I don't have a single issue with the fit or finish of the instrument.

Foo just got an Epi J-200 acoustic. Absolutely gorgeous, loud as a cannon and has a dual pickup nanoflex/nanomag setup with stereo out jacks and got it all for $399. I don't see how they're doing it. I guess that slave labor really makes a difference on price. :lol:

If they loosen the zip ties holding the children to the work bench it improves morale.

FWIW, when I was in Houston recently, one of their stores had a Casino on clearance for $509. It was a MIK version, which I didn't think they were doing other than the ES-175 Premiums of late. There is also a "Pro" version of the Sheraton coming out soon. Seriously, either MIC or MIK, there is some really good stuff coming from Epi these days.
