Best Answer

The answer to this is simple. Gibson Guitars are hand crafted. Along with many other brands if a guitar is hand crafted it will only mean one thing, more damage to your wallet. That's why larger companies make affordable guitars to the public as well, the only difference is that the cheaper you go the more chance that the guitar was made overseas by machines. Fender has Squire, Gibson has Epiphone, and ESP has LTD....I could go on, but you get the point.

No. All the Gibson-branded guitars, be it a $480 Melody Maker or a $15k artist signature Les Paul, were/are made in the USA. I think their sub brand guitars, including those that are sold at Walmart, are manufactured outside the US and some of them may well be made in China.

Are epiphone guitars made in the same factory as Gibson guitars?

Epiphone was a company all it's own at one time, owned by a luthier, and named after is son, "Epi." As Epiphone made quality instruments, Gibson purchased the rights to the name, at which point Gibson became responsible for the construction of Epiphone guitars. But, Epiphone makes Epiphone guitars, not Gibson. Gibson is only responsible for providing the materials and the construction regulations. Some would even choose an Epiphone over a Gibson.
