Great guitar for the money

I got mine used on ebay for less than half of the price of a new epiphone one.When I ordered it, I thought it would be some kinda shitty guitar which I would sell in a short time. But I wanted at least to have tried it. And it is great.

Its probably made in the same Chinese plant as the current epi 335s.
