I read that Yamaha were interested. They could absorb the electronics division they bought from Phillips and just focus on making guitars.
I think Gibson is often an aspirational lifestyle brand for a lot of people. In the same way that Ferrari and Rolex are. Lots of people see a 59RI as the holy grail and something to aspire to. Having these cheap electroinics and 50 different budget Gibson lines actually diminishes their reputation, due to the poor quality control required to keep their costs down.
I think that if they are saved, and I hope they are, they just go back to making melody makers, specials and juniors as lower end models with a focus on playability and quality control, the SG and LP Standard in its mid range, and then the Customs for their higher end stuff and then a whole custom shop range with a focus on individual projects, vintage accuracy and more modern offerings like the Custom, Axcess or whatever. And then come out with a line of 57,58,59,60 signature reissues. Page, Keef, Clapton, Green etc.
You may think that this is what they have now but really they seem to have diluted their brand with a lot of cheap electricals and many similar guitar ranges and lost focus on what made their guitars lusted after in the first place.
