If you play an Squier and an Epi side by side, there will be a clear marked difference in quality, feel and sound. Squier makes some neat looking stuff (b/c its Fender), but more often than not, the quality is extremely poor and will not last. Period.

Actually, a friend of mine has an Epiphone that was made in Japan; it's the same spec, same wood, same everything (well, the pickups were skimped on, but you have to cut corners somewhere), except it was made in Japan instead of the Gibson factory in Nashville. It sounds, feels, and looks as good as any Les Paul he or I have ever played. Not many come like this; he did find a good one.
