goldtop1 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 maybe the price increase is because of the difference in value between the British Pound and the US Dollar. Maybe the step to set up Gibson in England and Germany has something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobouz Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 This was stated outwardly on another forum by someone who was at a meeting wherein Henry was speaking at Gibson, and this person happened to be present when Henry was stating this. To take a second hand comment made on the internet and adopt it as gospel seems unwise. The individual putting this out on another forum could very well have his/her own agenda, axe to grind, or skewed interpretation. Personally, I see Gibson making a reasonable effort to cover a wide range of price points (which greatly extends in reach with the addition of the Epiphone line). The lowest priced Gibson acoustic is currently $1499 (J-15), while the least expensive Gibson electric runs $489 (SG-J). If you want to spend less you can do that with the Epiphone line. If you are in fact a rich guy and want to spend overpriced amounts of money for a wall trophy, that can be done, too. In the 43 years that I've been acutely involved with guitar buying, I have to say that it's easier than ever for the average person to find and affordably purchase a very good quality instrument, Gibson or otherwise.
