Yes. Like Cadillac dealers targetted for being conservative.

Communists are as predictable as despicable.

I love Gibson guitars, but they have gotten so expensive. They made a huge mistake about 5-6 years ago when they did the “New Coke” thing and put Robo Tuners on their guitars, and metal zero fret nuts. Really hurt them. The next year, they brought back “Old Coke” and keep the new enhancements as and HP line.

Their quality control has been pretty bad the last few years. Their Epihone line which is mostly built in Asia, is generally just as good, and 25% the cost of a Gibson. I’ve bought a couple Epiphones recently, spent $500 to upgrade the electronics and had a pretty nice guitar.

And the other big issue, is they started expanding into home electronics. Bought a ton of companies and added massive debt.

Hope they survive. Still an iconic American brand.
