"Storied guitar maker Gibson Brands Inc. filed for bankruptcy protection Tuesday as the company has struggled with its debt load after a series of acquisitions...
...The company said in the bankruptcy filing that it has debts of between $100 million and $500 million, including owing at least $100,000 to 26 other companies, including many suppliers."
On the one hand, it's sad that a legendary company has come to this but on the other, a lot of their guitars are overpriced, have poor quality control and their treatment of retailers and customers is bullshit.
