Rex should have just had these made in his home state of Texas. I mean half of China has already come through that open border. I bet those Chinese solder joints are still made out of good old lead too. Considering how much manufacturing has left China, they better step up their game. From what I've seen, most of the Chinese products are coming at steep discounts to make up for all the competition they are getting from Cambodia and Vietnam. As long as Epiphone can prove Uyghur slave labor isn't used, it's all good. I'm going to keep my wallet shut for the time being though as I'm still holding out hope for a Semiquincentennial anniversary Thunderbird in 26'.
