Riverside Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Does anyone know just how many of which guitars a company like Gibson sells in a given period of time? Is that something that gets published anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Nope. Probably as many as they can. As far as production numbers go, they only announce the number made if the guitar is part of a limited run where they announce how many are being made up front, like the Guitar of the Week series. Other than that, you're guess is as good as mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it's probably several. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 For the heck of it, I searched the GC website for locations near me - within a 3000 mile radius. Got back 215 locations! Presuming a modest turn rate (2 per day per store?), excluding stock on hand, it would follow that would be 150,000 per year (plus) moved through that outlet alone. That's more than 600 per day getting squirted out of the factory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
