        Seems like $1k SGs and $2500k LPs would be in between.

              Huh? Ever heard of Epiphone? Or the variety of sub-$1000 USA-made models they've had over the past 7-8 years?

              I mean, the company still sucks, but I'm not sure why you believe Maestro and Gibson USA Custom Shop are the only offerings out there, LOL!

                Congratulations you can't identify sarcasm. I hear people with Aspergers have trouble with it. Might want to get tested Rainman. As for the middle ground why would you lessen the value of your flagship by slapping the Les Paul and Gibson name on everything?

                  You do realize that sarcasm is not always obvious with the printed word, especially on an internet forum.

                          Man, I hope I don't have an unlicensed dream about a Les Paul or Explorer... I might have to pay Gibson royalties lol

                              Guitar companies really need to stop copying Fender and Gibson. That said Gibson sat idly while lots of other companies made Explorers and Vs, which ironically Gibson did have design patents on.

                              Fender lost similar lawsuits when the judge ruled they waited too long and allowed those designs to become generic.

                              Gibson did the same. Problem these days is Henry Juszkiewicz ran Gibson into the ground. Now the new owners are concerned with not losing anymore money.

                                I agree. The entire guitar and bass industry needs to take a step back a bit for resource reasons alone. On top of that, if a guitar company is not bringing anything of their own to the table, they really should cease to exist at this point. I want to see the original innovators rise to the top while the companies who have earned their place are given some room to breathe finally (Gibson, Fender, PRS, etc).

                                As far as how each company decides to run itself, well, that is on them. I have not owned a Gibson since about 2008 now, but that was a fine guitar. If they failed to secure their own design property rights over the years, that is not my problem. At least they are trying to now I guess?

                                However, the whole world could use a whole lot less new cars and guitars on lots and shelves at the end of the day. There is not enough market demand to be consuming this many resources in the hopes of improving the quarterly bottom line. A lot of dust gets collected on a lot of things that never should have come into existence.
