It's more the traditional 'Gibson' style.in horn shape, waist location, and lower bout size, and style. Don't know if that's a fact, or 'wishful thinking?' Maybe someone on here can comfirm or deny that? However, I DO (much) prefer the body sillouette, on the Chinese versions. I've 'heard' (but, not seen.yet, anyway) that the Chinese have started incorporating that 5-piece neck, in their standard Sheraton. The Chinese versions had a bit of a 'time of it,' at first, but seem to be very nicely made, now.
But, I know a lot of folks like the 5-piece laminated necks, on the Korean versions, as well as their overall quality. Can't speak about the other models, as I have NO experience, there. I think some may always prefer the Korean Epi Sheraton's.
