Yup, I had been doing some reading about it, never saw one though. I
was a little doubtful at first but coming from Gibson, I figured they
would probably do a good job.. Hey Dick, where was it made.? Just
curious...
------------------------------
All real Gibson's are made in the USA. The primary plant for solid bodied
electrics is in Nashville, TN. They build acoustics somewhere in Montana.
Gibson also owns several other guitar brands including Epiphone. These are
lower cost guitars, similar to the Gibson line, but are manufactured in
several countries, including the US, Japan, Korea and China. Similar
arrangement to Fender's "Squire" Strat which is manufactured in, I think,
Korea.

Fender and Martin make some in Mexico to iirc.. My Martin was made in
Mexico. Nice to have an American made Guitar..
They sell for about a 1/3 or 1/4 of the cost of the American made
guitar. Most guitar players can tell the difference between the
American and Mexican guitars.- Hide quoted text -

Not according to the guitar players on several groups I am active in..
I mean they know which guitars are made here and there, but the
equipment, training, and production tolerances are the same for the
big vendors in China, Mexico, as in the US.. .

DAMN HIM , DAMN HIM TO HELL. My son and the salesman convinced me to
buy the American model. Wait till my little ****head son gets back from
Africa, I will tell him a thing or two. Either that or I will steal
his Fender Double Fat Strat and Parker Fly Guitars and buy me a Nikon
D3. That will teach that son of a bitch.
