Well, imho Gibson's, among others are ridiculously expensive. Please don't give me the "you get what you pay for" argument. many years ago you could at least argue, "but quality control". Not so for a long time now.
You pay for the name, same as other brands.
I know the majority of folks here play HB guitars for the most part and look down on Strats and teles.
Yes, their are Fender type guitars made by some that are cheaper and as good or sometimes better.
But at least Fender has kept the prices "reachable" for mere mortals.
I wiilshed no tears for the high priced guitar makers. Just MHO, of course.
