We have one left locally (not counting Guitar Dungeon).

I assumed it was only because of poor sales, but I then found out that Gibson has invested in GC. Looks like they want to make GC an almost exclusive Gibson dealer. Wierd strategy, but true. But without significant competition, GC can probably increase its selling price on Gibsons. I always heard that Gibson's wholesale price was closer to list price than any other manufacturer, making it hard for a store to survive on Gibson sales alone. Sam Ash Cleveland, a better store IMHO, has unfortunately been shrinking its inventory. Not sure what this means, but it doesn't look good. Ibanezfreak1960 Username: Ibanezfreak1960 Registered: 03-2004 Posted on Monday, June 20, 2005 - 9:07 am:    Well gibson is also competing with the low end market and they are selling low priced stuff themselves probably trying to survive like the rest of them. In my opinion Gibson makes some trashy product these days.

Some of the fretwork could be done better by chimpanzees No wonder even the 70s stuff is going up in value. Mr_roadstar Username: Mr_roadstar Registered: 06-2002 Posted on Tuesday, June 21, 2005 - 4:08 am:    The company I work for was a Gibson dealer for 40 years. Gibson changed the qualifications for dealers last year. There were about 15 Gibson dealers in Oregon in 2003. There are 2 left that I know of. One of them is Guitar Center. You figure it out...
