I played Gibsons in the 70's,80's and early 90's and was an absolute Gibson purist. There was a point when I was gigging full time playing US and Japanese dates and customer service at Gibson pissed me off really bad over a warranty issue so I refuse to play Gibson guitars and sold mine off.

Epiphone and Orville guitars have stood up to the abuse of gigging heavily so I continue to use them, I start with the base guitar and build them into what I want them to be.
Funny thing is dealing with Gibson concerning Epi guitars has been nothing but great service.
