I have a lot of guitars (I'm a confirmed "Strat-o-holic" with nine) but sticking just to Epiphones :

1965 E 230 TD Casino (sunburst/trap)('66 serial number but nickel hardware('65) and mid '65 pot codes)
1965 FT-79N Texan (natural/light mahogany)(My first "real" guitar-purchased new Sept.'66)
1971 6833E (?) dread acoustic (Japan)
1973 FT-570BL jumbo acoustic (Japan)
1977 FT-160 Texan 12 (string) (Japan)
1990's Epiphone Japan "'65" Casino (sunburst/trap)
Dead ringer for my real '65 and sounds more defined and "crisper". The neck is even narrower than the Kalamazoo Casino but it still plays beautifully( as does the Gibson '65) This line of guitars was the basis for the later "Lennon" reissues. Out of 30 + guitars this may be my favourite electric.
1993 Riviera Reissue (sunburst/Freq) (USA)
1993 Riviera Reissue #2 (sunburst/Freq) (USA)
1996 Texan (sunburst) (Korea)

I know very little about the current Asian Epiphones but I have a pretty strong background as a player, a collector and dealer with the Kalamazoo era Epiphone guitars. I also have a pretty good historical awareness of the Epiphone company but I'm always seeking to learn more and I'm always willing to share what I do know.

Best of luck to the Admins. It looks like a good start and it looks pretty good.
