As mentioned before, 'Gibson' is now not exclusive to just guitars. The manufacturer has extended the name to label other products & we now have Gibson monitors seen above. As if that's insufficient to convey the intention, the ones you see here are the Les Paul models.
We expect some quality when it comes to a 'Gibson' & we hope whichever product bears this name would pay tribute to the legacy trickled from the instrument branch. It gets sticky when the 'Les Paul' name is included here as if implying the legendary individual has everything to do with the development of these monitors & that would be a fair assumption until one bothers to read a little history behind the name.
If you ask me, I personally think this is desecration; leave the Les Paul label alone, let it be exclusive to guitars. You can 'Gibson' everything else under the sun but some things should be respected, especially when the individual is no longer around to defend his stead.
