Re: Gibson Selling Memphis Factory
Any word where they are moving too? Or did they just want to get rid of the factory that was cracking the necks on all their photo guitars?

Figure they sell for17mill move to a place that costs 20mill, all the asses in the big chairs get 2mill bonus for being geniuses, the company debt raises to 540 mill. And then all production moves to Bangladesh or somewhere of that nature.
Or am I just pecimistic.

In that price range, you expect hand craftsmanship by skilled artists. The newer guitar factories in Asia use CNC machines, so the difference between American-made and Asian-made seems to be getting smaller.

I remember that there were some humans in the spray booth (each guitar took less than a minute to spray). Then there were some humans who scraped the paint off of the bindings. But man, seeing all that automation and lack of skilled labor was disheartening.
