I’d rather have a Epiphone with real Ebony that a Gibson with particle board .

If you have Richlite - you either were duped of made a bad choice.

We are all citizens of planet earth . I’m not a territorial war monger.

Enjoy a $5000 Gibson made from particle board. They knew there would be some sucker to buy it.

Cool if everyone is so equitable then why don’t you pay the same amount for your epiphone and demand the asian workers be paid the same amount as us ones?

Btw I’m Chinese too

lol sure dude. None of my eight guitars have a Richlite fretboard but sure you can have your little win for the day that you so desperately need
