    I'm looking to buy an es335 copy. I've tried an epiphone copy but didn't like it - seemed poorly finished and was horrible to play.

    Are any of the asian copies any good?

    Also has anyone played one of those Burns guitars? What are they like. I'm looking for a new electric guitar for a trebly, rock, indie sound.

    Im the same as yourself, all i can say is that if your in dublin, check music maker as they have 2 beauts, epiphone though i think but still worth a play at least!

    The Japanese Tokai 335 copies are very very nice. However, this trebly-rock-indie sound you're after comes from a good oul Telecaster! :pac:

    Dord is right here. I have a Tokai ES100 which is a copy of the ES335. Very nice guitar for the money. The only issue I have is the wiring is a bit rubbish and I have had some trouble with it. However the sound is amazing even with the stock pups. Trebly it aint though! Trebly belongs to the Tele. :pac:
