I did find a manufacturer in China that makes an SG copy that I really like. The Epi starts at about $1,100 - and a Gibson is entirely out of my price range at $4,000 and up. I want to add a double neck to the collection. I've been going through a similar mental wrestling match. There's a sticker on the back of the headstock of my JT-133 that says 'Made in China' You may have to ignore that earlier comment about Epi having better electronics.Īnd BTW, Jay Tursers are made in China. Much clearer than any stock Epi pickup I have played with. Though the pickups on my JT do sound pretty good. But a used Epi will still be the cheaper guitar, and may have better electronics. The Turser will probably cost a little less than a new Epi. I'm not going to say buy one over the other, that's up to you. When I was looking to buy my first LP, I strongly considered the Jay Turser LP based on my positive experience with the 335 copy but instead went with an Epiphone, one reason being that it felt more like a 'real' LP because it was made by Gibson. The JT has now been relegated to #3 in my line-up, but when I do bust it out, I wonder why I don't play it more often. Always thought it sounded great and played even better. I never had any beefs with the JT at all. We were very close until I started buying Epiphones about two years ago. The first electric guitar I ever bought was a Jay Turser (albeit a 335 copy).
