The main reason Gibson(Martin, Fender, etc.) is still selling millions of guitars is because: 1. The customers heroe's played one 2. They have been popular for so long<br><br><br>Belive me, I would kill to get a good pre-Norlin, CBS, etc. era Gibson or Fender....  :)]]></content:encoded>

(BTW, I just get the headstock out of view, and I'm set!  :P )</blockquote><br><br>Thats the thing thats been starting all this arguing, if someone's a multimillionaire, and they know they have almsot unlimited money to spend on guitars, many people would go with a brand name. Not becuase they don't support smaller companies, or they want to look cool, but becuase, the reason it got to be a household and a brand name, which is the fact they that company has been making excellent guitars for an awfully long time, and is available to almsot anyone for many years. So, to many, it's the safets bet to go with, rather than the experiment with a LP copy, why not get the real thing, you know its quality.<br><br>Do you see my point?]]></content:encoded>

My point exactly, but it does bother me that I'm paying extra for a brand name. If I play a Fender (Gibson, PRs, whatever you like), and it plays like a dream and sounds awesome, (and if I'd had the money), I'd buy it. But, unfortunatly, I don't have the money to pay extra for so and so, and if I did, it would have to be used. The thing that gets me is that I can't tell that much of a difference between a $400 popular brand, and a 200-300 dollar off brand... I guess people who have the money and like to look at themselves in the mirror and think they are hendrix, etc. do it. (BTW, I just get the headstock out of view, and I'm set!  :P )]]></content:encoded>
