Ah-so!! Y = Why... now your reply makes sense to me. Thanks for the clarification.
I do have several vintage American, English and Swedish axes as well. It is just that the build qualities on the years that constitute vintage Japanese guitars (late 60's to mid 80's) are better by and large in most any respect you can think of.
Wood quality and species, pups, hardware, ancillary build materials, workmanship and so on and so on and so on.
As distasteful as it was initially I have come to accept that the great majority of what The Big Three were churning out as guitars during those years was crummy to be frank. Not that every instrument was bad, but in total during that particular time frame they are not near the quality of Japanese instruments, and I am not even factoring in the differences in price, which could easily run from 3-10 times more for an American badge.
I've probably played, handled or inspected over 2000 individual guitars in my years searching them out and my above assessment has been borne out with far too great a frequency to be happenstance or some fluke... at least in my experience.
But YMMV of course. Do you have any axes yourself or just a passing interest?
Interesting. I have not heard of the Leon brand but the Traditions... absolutely.
The ES335 copies they do are a very nice quality copy for the price. The neck profile, especially the taper, is super comfortable to play for me at least and the tones one can coax from them is quite pleasing in my opinion as well.
Do you gig at all or just noodle for fun?

@ subsonic and iceman, I too play guitar and have a 72 Fender Tele deluxe (modded with a custom single pickup pickguard and EMG 81 with pbr and high life volume and tone knobs for my now-defunct metal band.
Also have a JCM2000 TSL100 and a Loar acoustic (all of their guitars are based off of the designs of the guy named Loar that worked at Gibson in the early 1900's.)

I play roller derby, which is now becoming more of a lifestyle than a hobby. I bowhunt and learned taxidermy because the pricing is so crazy to pay someone else when I am pretty dern good. I also like to kayak and camp and hike. I also like to think tinkering around with my vehicles is a hobby, but more an exploration at this point...lol
