I applaud Gibson's efforts to provide an iconic style guitar at a reasonable price, made in the USA.
Since they have a history of knowing how to make a high quality laminate guitar, I have no problem with the likelihood that the new guitars will be laminated. I prefer laminated real wood to formica.
Another thing Gibson was known for was making good guitars for working people. There has been a lot of noise made over Taylor's and Martin's new "high tech" futuristic guitars. That is fine but not everybody can afford those guitars.
If these guitars sound good and there is no reason to think they shouldn't, they should sell well.
