I suspect that if we rewound the tape back when the street price for the GA-5 was 700 everybody was saying
"well yeah of course - look at the build quality - by hand in the USA yada yada yada"
Now that its 299 its "the same" as the Chinese made Epi and Benton Hartley?
The fact is it is a distinctly better-made amplifier - that Gibson is taking a hit on BECAUSE it cost too much to move enough units . . . . the 700 price point was way to high.
$299 is a severly discounted price on a well made Made in the USA amp - that's my story until somebody shows me otherwise.
And with all due respect, I'll stack Gibson's reputation - and fear of the court$! - up against anybody's "friend" or somebody else's gut feeling.
