the best instruments in the universe were made here until the downhill slide starting in the late 60s...absolute magic for a mass produced instrument in guitars , mandolins banjos ,ukes , solid & jazz electrics

@mikebecker330 Actually, Gibson's building of the Nashville plant and subsequent cease of opoerations in Kalamazoo had nothing to do with the structural integrity of the building....was all about getting out from under the Union, as all Gibson employees were unionized at that time. I have yet to lay hands on a Heritage myself, but from what I've seen/heard, that day can't come soon enough(2 kids left to graduate, then it's ON, LOL).

When I was a kid, we used to dump pick at the Cork st. land fill. Gibson used to dump their reject part there and we culled the parts and assembled into playable guitars. Had a flying V and Les Paul when I was just a kid. Oh, to have that stuff again!!!

it is still there, drove by it today, new paint and looks relatively good, smoke stack still there, the Gibson on the stack is not as vivid and clear, Heritage Guitars sign on the front door.
