Seems you can't mention Gibson without someone else throwing in the fact that they make lousy, expensive guitars and are only still around because of their name. Are they really doing so terribly? It seems like the guitars they're making now are leaps and bounds better than the Norlin years (which isn't to say great guitars didn't come from those years as well). Sure, they're making terrible choices too - Firebird X, Robot technology, chambering (IMO) - but most of the Traditional LPs, SGs, and Custom Shops I've played have been amazing guitars!
I'm not saying they're doing an excellent job all around, but I do believe their efforts with the guitars that Gibson became notorious for deserves a little bit of credit. Anyone else?
