Based on serial numbers, looks like Martin is doing about 92,000 per year?

(last 2018 serial number divided by last 2008 serial number) / 10

97k made in the last year of the table

Where does Gibson rank?

At the Vancouver Guitar Festival a few weeks ago a Taylor rep told me they make 160,000 guitars a year of which 5% are BTO.

With the actual Gibson name, very low. They only make a few hundred acoustics per week. It's somewhere between 10,000 and 14,000.

The vast majority of Gibson's sales are Epiphones and Gibson Electrics.
