So if something it's labeled 'Gibson USA' isn't the same as labeled 'BY Gibson USA' or 'Epiphone USA' or 'Epibphone China', this label is the motivation for many guitar players, from begginers to professionals, to chose where their money is wasted ON. But it's supposed that Gibson was a pionner in construction acustic and electric guitars as their hardware and pickups, and have auspiced many of the legends of blues and rock 'n roll.
I also respect Gibson users as Fender or Epiphone or whatever brand of guitar you play with. I respect your choice, but what you prefer isn't always what you paid for.
