Since I started looking on the boards I've been introduced to many guitar brands that I never heard of before like the Tokai and G&L...Just wondering if there are any more quality 'copies' that I don't know about. So far it's:

FENDER STRAT
G&L

GIBSON LP
Toaki
Burny (same as Fernandes?)
Tokai (same as burny & Fernandes??? Same factory I think)
Heritage
Orville (by Gibson)

I would not touch Quicksilver guitars or any Ed Roman product with a 20ft barge pole.

Burny and Fernandes do have the same owners. Tokai have nothing to do with them ownership wise.

Copy brands:

LP
Edwards by Esp
1970s Ibanez
1970s Fernandes
Epiphone Elitist + Japan
Greco

Es 335
Washburn
Ibanez
Epiphone Elitist + Japan

There are seriously far too many to list.

I suppose what I was interested in was high quality alternatives to the usual fender strat/LP marques. Just that it's been an eye-opener realising that the Japanese make some real quality alternatives...
