Has anyone tried to put together a compendium of such differences? I don't see anything in the Wiki (haven't read all of it yet thought). The manufacturing of guitars should be constantly improving, becoming more efficient over the years, that is if Epiphone's management has kept up strict quality controls. However, I have a Dot made from the Samick Korea factory in 2005 and the build quality is excellent. Eigentlich interessierte mich diese Gattung Gitarre immer nur ganz am Rande, ich wusste von deren Existenz und das war es auch schon Hollow´s sind für Leute, die nur. Same goes for hardware and improvements, hardware snafus. Nun möchte ich nach all meinen Reviews zu Solidbody- und Semiakustik-Gitarren auch einmal auf eine Hollowbody zu sprechen kommen.

If a guitar is going to have a better tone/sustain/etc than another then I would think that the first thing to question is the wood used and how it was used? In other words where did the mahogany come from, is the cap carved or veneer, is the mahogany body one piece or more? How was the neck set? How has Epiphone's production line changed through the years? What cost cutting was done, did it make and REAL difference in sound, play-ability, reliability? What changes improved the sound, play-ability, reliability? I would think that as long as Epiphone's production line is kept up to the same standards then it shouldn't make any difference in where a guitar was assembled. Wissenswertes: Die Epiphone Casino ist nach dem Vorbild der Gibson ES-330 gebaut.

Seit 2008 werden alle Modelle in China gefertigt. 2007 werden einige Modelle in China hergestellt, andere noch in Korea. hergestellt wird sie in Japan nach dem Muster der alten Casinos aus Kalamazoo. One of my questions above 'What makes the Korean or Japanese made guitars better?' hasn't seen much of a reply. 2003: Die Elitist Casino kommt auf den Markt.
