Super sound, unfortunately shoddy manufacturing

I've tested a few copies of the Epiphone ES-339, ES-335 Epiphone Epiphone Les Paul copies and other lately. The sound of the 339 is pretty straightforward, strong, has fallen honored me. The sound of the 335, however, is softer and slightly thinner, acoustic.

Unfortunately, the production is currently deficient in Epiphone. Farbpatzer, color drops, spilled glue, knobs placed wrong, scratched Tonabnehmerrahmen and fret buzz already at high string action. You'd think for the price you get nothing better, but is not correct. Hagstrom made in China, as well as from Korea Samick Indonesia or finished very clean in this price range.

Who is on the production quality is not important who will have his pleasure, otherwise I would currently Epiphone generally avoided in this price range.
