Yeah guitar sales are down across the board, heck just here in Alberta Axe Music is being acquired by Long & McQuade, and this after they announced the closure of the Calgary store last year.
But in addition to declining guitar sales Gibson has done some monumentally dumb things in the last 5-10 years. Robot tuners, price increases... picking fights with the US government over wood imports.
As other's have said the Gibson name will live on... but I wouldn't mind picking up an SG or another Les Paul on the cheap in the meantime
