Back in the 80's Gibson moved all of their production from their original factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan, to their other factory in Tennessee. Many of the original workers didn't want to relocate, so they bought all the old equipment from Gibson and began making their own guitars, under the name "Heritage Guitars". These are the same workers and equipment that produced the original high quality instruments, unlike the current Gibsons, whose quality sometimes leaves little to be desired. Check out their website below.

Hm, if those guitars do cost the same as Gibsons, then Gibson would be still better investment. It's value will grow more quicker then the other brand, specially on some rare models.
But who knows, Stradivari made some violins back in the days too, and now they are worth millions. Perhaps something similar will happen in 200-300 years with these more "rarer" brands. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
