I have a 2008 Chinese Masterbilt Epiphone and it's fantastic. I had Indonesian Epiphones of 2011 and 2017. Mediocre at best. I have 3 Chinese Sigma guitars and their quality is fantastic. Looks, sound, fit and finish, they're just great. A bit pricey, but REALLY on another level, better than any Epiphone.

The ibg's didn't start till 2020 from Indonesia.. not even remotely the same as your 2011 or 2017.. the Indonesian ibg's j45, hummingbird,j200, the masterbuilt Texan, Dove,and the masterbuilt excellante are fantastic guitars reviewed by notable guitarists. I have three of them myself couldn't be happier.

@@raymondreeder3274 You don't know what you're talking about. I didn't say a word about Inspired By Gibson. Masterbilt series existed since 2000s.

How to tell on a epiphone dove? Thanks.

[@fenderman7596]

Do not get your point on the serial number. What number signifies country of production? We know the date of production is in the first four but the next 2 is the question.

[@5150show]

23 follows the date numbers in my acoustic. Therefore it's made in Indonesia . Thanks for watching

[@stevebernard221]

Country of origin don't determine if a guitar is good or not. Whoever puts it together does. I have played many USA, and Canadian made guitars that have been unbelievably bad.

[@5150show]

Wow hope you didn't buy them . This Indonesia made Epi is one of the best guitars I've ever bought. Definitely a keeper

[@stevebernard221]

@@5150show nope. Like anything, you have to see it and play it to really know if it's a good guitar for you.

[@blozgurl]

I wouldn't touch those made in china inspired EPis . Too many reviews saying they are crap

@@5150show seriously, too much misinformation and it's annoying, people talking as if they are comparing an Indonesian Gibson to a Chinese Epiphone, it doesn't make any sense
