YEP GANG-- get your USA Gibsons WHILE YOU CAN--- this new CEO is a "Globalist"
Where are LEVIS made?????? -- GOOD OL USA LEVIS!?!?!?!
For the large majority of their jeans, Levi's are not made in the USA. More than 99% of their jeans are made in countries like China, Japan, Italy, and others. Levi's does have a single collection of “Made in theUSA” 501 jeans, sourced from a small denim mill called White Oak in Greensboro, NC.Jul 4, 2018
SEEMS those "Chobsons" are going to become MORE plentiful............likely sold THROUGH GIBSON---

IMO, this is great news!
In the online Rolling Stone article: "As CEO, Curleigh says his first task will be to reinvigorate the company’s morale and get employees excited about refocusing around Gibson’s core business: high-quality musical instruments."
Ridiculous... Have some faith, Brother...

Well, this is something. Is Henry J going to be no more involved with Gibson?
syscokid
Ambassador of War & Peace
That was the original plan. So, boys and girls... Can you say: "Severance package"?

Ambassador of Decibels
Maybe they can give him one of those hairbrained scheme failed businesses he got Gibson saddled with.

Agreed. That would be the final death knell for Gibson. I wouldn't ever buy a Gibson made in another country. I'm already contemplating a Heritage as my next purchase.

Heritage "Les Pauls" are very nice. Haven't plugged one in, but holding one and strumming it acoustically feels like it should the Les Paul thing very well.

In a way they are more the original than even a Gibson. If you can get past the cosmetic differences they are amazing guitars (basically CS quality) and an insane value. I'll be perfectly honest and say that what has held me back buying one to date is the headstock, but I realize now that's a silly reason not to buy a guitar that you otherwise love.

Ambassador of Decibels
Gball, I am kicking myself for having such a slow brain. Heritage is not a Gibson Model, but the company staffed by ex Gib employees.
DUH
DUH
OP
whoops....

Correct. And they are swanky as hell:
And are incredibly high quality. Once you get over the headstock and lower horn shape and just play them they are right up there with the very best Gibbies at a really competitive price. I was thinking about buying a 2019 Les Paul Traditional but then I realized these are essentially the same spec, at a lower price and with the cachet of being made at 225 Parsons St.

This I have heard, gball. And top notch quality.

Now that guitar was a big FLOP! Might as well glue a pedal board to your guitar. And why did it only go up to 23 frets instead of 24? Doesn't make sense. You basically need a university degree to operate that beast.

Neither would I, wouldn't even consider it & I'm not even American. To me, a Gibson made outside of the US just wouldn't BE a Gibson. Cheers
