      I lived there for almost 30 years before heading out to Colorado. Gibson leaving Kalamazoo started the downturn in Gibson quality and craftsmanship. Most of the best luthiers at the factory stayed in town or stayed at the factory that became Heritage Guitars.

      Then they fired him and all his coworkers, moved to Nashville and started making subpar guitars. All part of 'The Process.'

    Kudos for showing the reality of a "Go-Back" ES guitar getting touched up. It was strung up with hardware. Also, showing how these craftsmen have to fix burn-throughs and such. Even at this scale of production the challenge of perfection remains. It's nice to see that guitars aren't leaving the building in rough shape as they have in the past.

Gibson’s gotta be enjoying this resurgence and if you know Jim, you know he’s a man that not only KNOWS his way around the guitar factory/shop, but knows how to build pretty much EVERYTHING. He builds teams, morale, loyalty and oh, I almost forgot...he REALLY knows how to build beautiful, impeccable, high quality guitars! Rock on guys/gals, Gibson USA is back in the game!!🤘🏻💯💕💯🤘🏻

    I was a fret filer at Gibson in the late 90’s, but for some reason they put me in buffing one day. It was kinda scary buffing around the pickup and control pockets. Sure enough, as soon I started to relax a little, that wheel grabbed one of those pockets and threw an SG across the room breaking the neck right off. Glad they didn’t keep me there longer than a day.
