In general I love classic electric guitars, especially hollow and semi hollow. To my ears though the Epi's always leave something to be desired, with the exception of the old ones before they were an Asian import line for Gibson to have something cheap for students.
I do have some cheap Asian guitars that I love but in general I am rarely impressed by them.

i *almost* snagged the 1966 sorrento on reverb right now. but the fact is i'm not in that price category or even close.
i like the bargains, the gibson wannabe's so to speak. love them in fact, and very much the asian gibson wannabe's too. i can't wait to get a made in korea casino. srsly.
i'm not sure if it's fair to judge an entire brand line of guitars but you could very well be right as i am new to them.
and i did have a riviera come through here that i struggled to embrace for 2 fracking weeks and just could not get it playing for me, had to send it back. it was a mi china but the fit and finish and such were pretty darn good, although i'm sure the electronics were lacking.
speaking of, the electronics on this serrento reissue are all top-notch.
