I guess that explains why clunky Gibsons charge insane prices for
Henry Ford assy line axes. Gotta pay off both the black mkt thugs AND

woods mean little in this day and age of electronics and digital
effects and Gibson has almost zero presence/prestige in the acoustic
mkt.
you're wrong about that. Gibson acoustics are still VERY popular.
