Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Epiphone has dropped to lower standards when they can take a nobody and sell his guitar...its so obvious that Thayer cant come to terms to admit in his interview that Ace Frehley is his obvious influence..he plays his riffs and mimmicks him. Kiss and Thayer are sell out..and I have no respect for epiphone as they would sell anything for a buck...just like the fake KISS!
