    I'm a keyboardist. Concerning electric guitars, I have variax. This puts my care average at about....oh.....-00000001
    Not against Gibson guitars. For me though I guess it really doesn't matter. I have an old laguna hanging on pegs plus the variax and three acoustic guitars. I don't collect guitars like happy meal toys. If I can't play one, why do I need another one? 
     
    My guess is they will be marketing to the millennials. Old guys are out looking at the vintage stuff. Maybe a gib that makes beats?
     
    Good for Gibson coming out of the bankrupcy. I hope they can concentrate more on their core products from now on, but that doubtful will happen.
