it's important to remember that it's all preference. epiphone does use lower quality components (pickups, wiring, pots, jacks, etc) than gibson does. and yeah, the attention to detail isn't on the same page. does that mean that you'll prefer playing a gibson over an epiphone? absolutely not. does it mean you'll like the sound of a gibson amp compared to an epiphone? absolutely not. personally i don't really like gibson or epiphone acoustic guitars.
a lot of people love the sound of those old danelectro guitars... and those things are made from plywood.
