Yeah I don't expect people to drop that kind of coin on me. I have 3 gibson electrics but really I have had my heart set on a hummingbird for about 15 years. I actually went to buy one once, and the store couldn't find the keys to the glass display case it was in. While they were looking, I picked up a guild that was $2k cheaper and decided on that. It's a fantastic guitar, but I have regretted that ever since.

Omg--that just might be brilliant.

I went to the Gibson 'factory' at that mall in Nashville.  Figured I'd buy something for my wife.  There wasn't a single thing in there below $6k, which was about double my max on that adventure.  There also wasn't a single customer in there besides my peasant ass.

In the years since, I've heard rumblings of all kinds of financial and quality problems.

Definitely. You have to try like 30 instruments before you get a good one, but the good ones are super nice. Most other people my age try to tell me that gibsons are for "rich old men with more money than sense." I admit it, I'm kind of a whore for them. They are very nice once you sift through the crap.
