They were Canadian made. Didn't they have some unusual form of bracing - some kind of non wood composite material? Don't quote me on that - I just seem to remember that they used a non standard type of bracing in their instruments...
I played a Garrison guitar once... it was really nice, nice full tone and good feeling on the neck. From what I hear they're a pretty solid build so the OM's are probably sound as well
Triplet Upstairs is right. They had developed some unique carbon fiber bracing sysytem that interested Gibson to the point where they bought the company. I don't think Gibson has any interest in continuing the product line...they just wanted the bracing system.
I suspect in time, there might be a line of cheap Asian built/Gibson owned instruments with the name "Garrison" on the headstock the way they've done with Epiphone and now Flatiron.
Gariison OM???
