Jury is still out on that. I have like 12 of the new ones so none of them get played enough to wear the frets down...

(12 ?) I didn’t think they made 12 different models- are they all the same color ?

Here are a few of them. Mostly standards and 59's a classic and a few more.... Some of these I don't own anymore some I still have...

Yeah I got a little carried away during lock down Hey in my defense I haven't bought a guitar since April of 2022

Ok, so I just have to check it out very carefully when I buy. I plan to get one from GC - and it goes straight to my guitar tech for inspection
( if he doesn’t approve it I will return it)
But another question on new Epi’s
Are the frets any better? I have a 14 that I got used and I am now needing a fret job.
Are the new Epi’s being made with better quality frets?

Frets are showing some signs of slight wear on my Epiphone,59 but I’m a very heavy player 2-4 hours a day 6 hours sat/ sun

So , is this on par with normal wear for an American made guitar? (I play 1- 1.5 hours 4-5 days per week)

I believe It’s normal for the amount of time I play each day 2-4 hours mon-fri weekend prob around 8-12 hours maybe a little more sometInes
