But why do people look so suspicious against Epiphone Lesters? Afterall if the Sheraton, coming from the same stable is such a highly regarded guitar, then why would Epiphone Les Pauls be anything less than that? (No pun intended)

Because back when Epi's were made in Kalamazoo, MI, There was never a Gibson Sheraton, and never an Epiphone Les Paul.

BTW, No disrespect to those who play and love modern Epi's. They're fine guitars in their own right. I just think Gibson shoulda done it differently.
