And from what I’ve read his estate likes to capitalize on his name for good money deals.
he sure don’t look happy with that V around his neck)

We'll probably see a lot more jazz being played on Teles ala Ed Bickert.

No affiliation, but there are some absolutely gorgeous WesMo's on Reverb and an equally gorgeous Lee Ritenour.

But the sound of Gibson is quite unique. The thicker tops... It is not that you can imitate that easy. Someones does even better instruments. But that sound of the L-5 no ones does it. Neither Heritage guys.

Besides sound, two other strong points would be the playability and feedback resistance of Gibson archtops. Don't know how they do it, but there is a world of difference with most other brands in both areas.

Everyone complains about slanted pickups on Gibson archtops.
Jim Culberson told me it helps reduce feedback.
They do it on purpose. Reduces magnetic strength.
Hence I don’t flip mine.

In 1960 Gibson stopped making Les Pauls because everybody thought they were ’yesterday’.
Then went seven years when they realised that the World needs Les Pauls and started to make them again in 1968. And it still goes strong.
Let’s hope that history repeats itself!

So what we need know is a gifted guitar player to make a Top 10 record, where he makes new and innovative sounds on his Gibson archtop guitar

I assume that older players cling on to cherished Gibsons and private Luthier built guitars for that reason. The Gibson company's attitude to
their long term customers is one of indifference, The focus with their new CEO seems to be centred upon Solid bodied and thin line guitars.
Possibly an error of judgement in closing the Crimson Custom shop.(?) Having owned several Crimson Custom built Archtops one can say that they
are/were superb. and the prices, although high , were within reach of the serious buyer. The consequence has been the rise of the Independent good
Luthiers ,a number of whom are able to produce guitars equal to or better than the current crop from Gibson and at a considerably lower cost.
