Actually, I disagree. Gibson and Fender should stop trying to do something new with their old designs.

I'm cool with progress and new ideas, but keep the classics around, as there's still people who want them.

Now if I want a Les Paul I gotta find one used, because I don't care what the headstock says, anything Gibson's got currently available is not a Les Paul.

Fender at least seems to make logical updates without ruining the spirit of their classic designs, and has separate models for their more radical alterations.

I agree, I just wish their classic designs were still made with the same quality as they were when they were not classics. Either classic quality or classic price. Which is ludicrous, I know...

The same reason Harley Davidson hasn't completely tanked once and for all..

...It's a name, a respectable name. One that has been around since the dawn of time.
...And I still want a purple SG.

You shake your ass but you're already dead.

Both companies have always offered classic models, like the 60's Les Paul Reissue, the '50's Telecaster Reissues, etc. The Gibson ES 175 has not changed specs in decades...The specifications do not change, but the price tags go hog wild and the quality suffers, and this is exactly why they should be trying to do new things. It'd keep their QC up to snuff, because if the newer models could keep up with the modern stuff.
