Surely seems to be a lot of Gibson haters here. They've got their problems for sure but then again so do many of us. It doesn't mean we're unredeemable, it just means we have a lot of work to do to get us to where we should be. I'll just say that from at least my personal experience, they're made and continue to make some fine acoustic instruments. Let the bashing begin but at times someone needs to get behind the underdog.
From my perspective I would not say Gibson haters as much as Henry J haters. Yes, you can't say "Les Paul" without a comment about how heavy they are, and there are times when Gibson acoustics perhaps should not have left the factory, but the esteem with which Ren. F's work is held, regardless of which brand, and the honest critiques and comparison makes me think we at LTG are actually evenhanded being neither Gibson haters not fanboys. Same applies to Martin IMO.
But I probably should not mention Robotuners...
Here endth the veer.
