That used to be the case, but not anymore. I was shopping for a new 335, so I went to Guitar Satan to check one out. The fretwork, binding, glue, and overall workmanship was horrible. For $3K.


I bought an Ibanez 335 copy for $350. Got it setup by a luthier and it plays like a dream. And, I don't have to insure it! grin
