Did you know you can buy a $350 "Gibson Les Paul" that says "made in the USA" on AliExpress? The guitar in question is CNC cut and then hand assembled. I may speak from experience when I say the item is very high quality and is a pretty danged good guitar.

The point here being that it's an industry what are the American players have not modernized their manufacturing process... We live in an amazing age where you can own an extraordinary instrument for very little money.

Didn't see any marketing themselves as Gibsons, but here's a "Gretsch" White Falcon in that range: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hot-selling-white-Gretsch-fa...
