Obviously targeted to the beginner market. Many of these guitars don't make any sense to us but their marketing must show they can sell them. Spacing I don't understand at all.

Read the description under double cutaway, even that reads Chinese. Do you see it? The two middle strings are too close together.

Gibson hasn't made a decent guitar worth buying in over 20 years.
