i'll tell u now that Gibson prices are going back up, Especially in the UK, Gibson have taken the dealership status to "one per town" so you will only have one local gibson dealer.
Secondly you will find that Rosetti are no longer distributing Gibsons as they were selling them off too cheap to shops so they could have price wars with eachother, Gibson viewed this as De-valueing the brand so they've stopped this and put into place their own distribution.
Lots of changes ahead from Gibson and the way they are made and distributed, better quality but higher prices.
