Same thing for Gibson Guitars, bought by KKR in 2013 and BK in 2018.

Gibson Guitars was founded in 1894, but a lot of the guitars they make today don't work, and are way overpriced also.

KKR renamed them to "Gibson Brands", so I guess some MBA with a PowerPoint thought related merchandise was more important than, you know, making guitars.
