GuitarBizarre

Except I'm not talking about just 2 guitars, I'm talking about many, many guitars, that I have both seen and played from across 3 decdes of Gibson. Gibsons on every single one have consistently failed to meet a quality level equal to the pricetag of the guitar, at best, and at worst have created instruments that are either flawed, unreliable, or downright terrible.

To be honest, I think it speaks volumes that out of all the LPs I've ever played the best one of them all was an Epiphone.

Like I said, I'm not trying to turn this into me flaming gibson at every turn, but the fact is that gibson are one of the largest guitar companies in the world and their guitars have a reputation as being incredible. They are therefore PRICED ACCORDINGLY.

So, given the price, the gigantic capabilities of gibson, and their reputation, why is it that I can play Ibanez, Epiphones, Gibsons, fenders, LTD and all manner of other guitars, yet out of all of them, the only ones that have consistently been either flawed or substandard have been the gibsons?

I understand I seem like I'm just spouting gibson hate, but the point isn't whether or not guitar companies make mistakes, they do, Ibanez have, schecter have LTD and ESP do, as do everyone else.

But then again, why is it Ibanez, jackson and the others can consistently produce guitars of a single good quality level while gibson seemingly cannot, even on guitars they're actively promoting? These are not growing pains or company expansion, this is laziness.
