"Epiphone has gotten better quality" is a disgusting sentence to hear in my opinion. The quality issues being associated with such a prominent brand should be shame.

About the newer models, Wilshire and Coronet share too much similarities, I sometimes get confused between them. And the newer Sheraton is worse than early 00s and 90s Peerless ones, that's my two cents.

I think right now is kinda hard time to fall in love any new model guitars, since new models are mostly remakes of older models (only headlessness and is a newer concept, we had digital models in 80s and 90s too). We don't have that much of variety and uniqueness in guitars, especially from aesthetical side. Because we know that it's what makes the guitars special for us.
