Have Epiphone guitars gone up in quality lately?

I remember I bought a Epi Les Paul Custom model 10 years ago and it was awful.

Just felt cheap. It seemed to me that Fender and Gibson didn’t really care about making good affordable mid quality instruments back then with their Epi and Squire models.

It led to them getting lapped by brands like ESP and Ibanez in that market.
