MikeRom Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 PRS, high end Epi's - or did Gibson also take epiphone out of business when they went belly up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Gretsch. Â Have yet to play a Rick that really has "the rick tone" (I have played 2 and none of them were high end ricks). Â ESP (they make this nice strat copy that plays and sounds great... the downside is that it costs more than a standar strat... so while fender is around there's no point).

Taylor Player Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Taylor, Martin, Guild, or any number of handbuilt Luthier guitars that are being made today. For electric, I would seriously consider another US Masters custom built Guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homz Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Now is the time for a few of us to put together a package deal to buy the Nashville Gibson plant. Would be a turn key operation. Â form a S-corp and start negotiations. Â Who's in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vagabond Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I don't know, really. There's a company called Stagg I've been meaning to try out for a while that makes nice looking LP copies, but I haven't invested the time to take one down off the wall and play it yet. I haven't really played an Ibanez that I really like... so I don't really know. I guess I'd just be glad I got a gibson while I could Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demoryn Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Gretsch would be my new favorite. I'd also do Ibanez artcores, Epiphones (unless they went with Gibson). I'm a big SG fan, so I'd probably pick up a Schecter S-1 mahogany and throw PAFs in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homz Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Â Â So you talking union job or non union in the long term? Â Unions are things of necessity. If the workers are treated assets instead of liabilities they will not be necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRom Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Workers are treated like assets. This is a problem to my way of thinking. Other assets are: Â my phone, Â my laptop, Â office supplies, Â my office furniture ... Â See? These are also just "things" to be managed with a cost associated to each. Thats what corporate america has done the to workers, union or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 IF Gibson and Fender (just Those brands) went out of business, but the other companies they owned, by some miracle, survived, it would be: Gretsch, Rickenbacker, Martin, Heritage, and Guild (especially, for their acoustic 12-strings). But, I'd probably just try to find "used but not abused" Gibson or Fenders, too. Â CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincinnatiSi Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I'll be in the minority and pick Peavey. They have some well made guitars like my USA Limited's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
