And for the record, I think the Epiphone Banana Headstock Teles and Strats are bargain buys (or were the last time I bought one) especially if you are just wanting the S or T sound for a song or two but not your main axe.
Yes, they were very cheap, badly set up guitars at the time.

I got the 3 of mine all second (or third,fourth, etc.) hand...thought the necks were pretty comfortable and for $100, pretty hard to beat.
Definitely not comparable to like a MIM Fender but for $100 range but at the time I was playing Gibson Les Pauls so having a super cheap Strat and Tele setup the way I like for less than $300 combined was a nice way to through the S&T sounds into my mix.
I do find it hypocritical of Gibson to sue other companies for things they do themselves...but that is business. Kinda like I'm sure most of the people on this forum would want DiMarzio to not enforce the double cream trademark but business is business.

My dad was an Epiphone dealer in the 90s and I still have what started life as a T310. There may have been a manic episode and chop saw involved.
From what I remember, this thing new was well below the quality of Glarry type $100i-$150ish guitars you can buy now.

It isn't a good month at Dean guitars, I am guessing.
Honestly, Dean can't afford to lose that much.

You guys buying Deans all this recent time were helping little Jr avoid fulfilling his original dreams of becoming a DJ or Influencer, but he had to keep up that appearance of daddy'd burgeoning young entrepreneur in order to keep daddy's money coming in.
At least now he can go forth and fulfill his dreams.
He's free!

Having met the guy a few times, this probably isn't too far from the truth. My take is that he wanted his life to be something like the Fast & Furious movies.

Haha, well, I'll be honest I've met him once too, that's the vibe I got -thus the jokes!
Also, met Dean Z many times -there's another turd.
Unfortunately, most of the big guitar companies are run by trust fund kids and douches.
Buy from a smaller company from someone that makes a great product and even better also someone that you like!
