I'm amazed at the quality of Asian guitars [View all]

The bubble has busted I have always been a collector of Japan guitars. Since I scored my first one a used tokai Les Paul reborn in 85 in Giessen west Germany 250$. Yesterday I played a PRs de 245 made in Indonesia a friend of our sons. Sunday I’m going swap out the pickups with some Seymour Duncan’s that the young man received as birthday present.

In jamming with our sons friends I have played epiphone Les made in China as with the Indonesian PRs se And Their stellar guitars. For the price you get quality for the the dollars. With one kids epiphone I swapped out bridge tail piece with aluminum on the house. Because well zinc just won’t cut it on tailpiece and but the Gibson humbuckers and pots stayed.

Regardless of where they are made you get a awesome guitar for under a grand. And I am happy all mahogany real maple cap decent guitars for living room players.
