Gibson is diverse
Did you know that these are all daugther-companies of Gibson? There's definitely more to the company than 335, LP, SG and Robot guitars!

The Law of Gravity is nonsense. No such law exists. If I think I float, and you think I float, then it happens.

That's interesting and I am surprised about some of the brands being part of Gibson. BUT, I asked myself immediately how many of them are still active/doing prosperous business - Kramer? Tascam? Onkyo? I believe Fender bought more cleverly with Jackson, Charvel and Gretsch....

Well... Onkyo had US $477.8 million in revenue in 2012 and 2,291 employees. Not too shabby?

Wow. That's quite some turn over I'd say.

Interesting.
One wonders when and how these were acquired, and with what goals?
Active participation in management?
Product design cross-pollination?
Consolidation in the music business?
Argh... too many questions!
