As a guitar player, I’ve spent years associating the Gibson brand with quality, stardom, and generally rocking out. This sad story from Consumerist is somewhat opinion-changing:
Gibson Screws Musician Out Of $10,000 Worth Of Equipment

To summarize - Gibson sponsors a contest with free price of $10k in gear. Then reneges and refuses to give the prize to the winner. Reputation-damaging antics ensue.

 Of couse, I’ve always preferred the Fender sound. And the brand is now looking better as well.
