Gibson’s chief “Made in America” competitor is C.F.Martin of Pennsylvania. They use the same wood for fretboards, but they are also big Democrat-Obama donors.......but I’m sure there is no connection.......
Conservatives, IMHO, need to do four things about this kind of abuse of power: Take names, keep your own skirts clean, correct the abuse as soon as we take the country back, and prosecute offenders. Americans should be able to respect their government, not fear it.
Nonsense. Gibson's chief competitor is Fender. Fender's top guitars are American Made.
Gibson primarily makes electric guitars, the Les Paul, SG, and ES line being the most famous. Fender makes the Stratocaster and the Telecaster, among others. Famous electric guitar players are frequently lumped into the category of Gibson players or Fender players.
Martin doesn't make electric guitars. None. Not a one. Nada. Zero. Zip. Zilch.
Martin makes acoustic guitars and competes with Gibson's Bozeman, Montana acoustic factory (which was never raided). Some acoustics have electronics inside them, but they're not electric guitars (and Taylor would be the principal acoustic guitar maker in that segment).
That whole "Martin's the main competitor" business came from the same blogger who said Chris Martin was a Democrat donor (true) and Henry Juszkiewicz was a Republican Donor. That blogger conveniently didn't mention Juszkiewicz's $2,000 donation to Democrat Jim Cooper earlier this year.
