finally a "tektoid nut" !!! seriously tho looks and seems pretty good so far, lately gibson seems able to produce less costly guitars in the USA than fender can in far away places, maybe you know who had a talk with them ....j

I never thought about that but you make a very good point. I guess they figured Epiphone will have to stand on their own name. There are so many good guitars being made all over this planet now that these companies must see their market share slipping away and are trying their best to retain as much of it as possible.Thanks for the post and thread Steadfastly! I was just talking to a guy at work about the new line of Gibsons as he does the ordering of them. That's pretty damn exciting fo rthe younger/beginner crowd and for people that may want to try one out who haven't had a chance to price. I wonder where that might put Epiphone though? Just wondering if there will be an effect on the brand or not.
"...expertly harmonizing USA-made quality and value."
What the hell does that mean?
Looks like they're inferring the two were mutually exclusive until now. Someone wasn't proof reading very closely."...expertly harmonizing USA-made quality and value."

Well, there's North America and South America, so they can cover a lot of territory with American made.Gibson M^2
5 cheap Gibsons.. Some say "American Made' and others say 'USA Made'.
That web page is as inconsistent as their build quality![]()
They're on Amazon.comI like the funky colours, but what's up with the back of the neck? From the side of the pocket, it looks like there's a clear finish on the back of the neck?
I clicked the link in the OP to see for myself, but Gibson seems adamant about not showing the back of these guitars on their website.
I'd like to get my hands on the teal or citron green models, but I'll have to wait and see what they go for here.
