But then the above have small margins compared to top clothing brands and trainers made in China and sold on brand alone
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.

Looking forward to more information on these
Looking at some of the 2019 models and pricing and now seeing nice looking juniors for under 1200 quid and Les Paul standards at under 2k think JC is starting to ring the changes. It will take time but he seems to be knocking over a lot of peoples objections to what the brand had become.
With stuff like decent lighting and improving ventilation etc so people can actually see the flaws, he is starting to address the quality issues. Change is never easy with a big workforce but I think most of the people in Gibson will have little loyalty to the petty micromanaged Henry J years.
I think a big thing in general is that most players either don't have the expertise, or at least aren't confident that we do, to inspect and play a guitar and be certain of its quality.
So there will often be doubts based on the price such as "there must be a reason it's so cheap" or that the 3000 quid guitar does have genuinely more to offer than a 1000 quid one, we just don't have the ability to tell what it is.
The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes...
Never heard anyone compliment a guitar by saying it plays like olive oil.
Honda made a loss on every S2000 and NSX.
With the latest Les Paul Standards seeming to be for sale at £1999, and the talk we are hearing about the end of model years, then there won't be the blowouts and Black Friday stuff going forwards.
Fwiw, I never understood why anyone apart from the mega firms like Tesco or box shifters like Amazon participate in Black Friday. If the retail margins are so low on most consumer items, and with guitars I think it’s a fair bet they are, what’s the point of flogging a £2k guitar to make £100 margin?
