It's the whole "lifestyle" product thing I just am not into...but I know many are. Hence my GOMP warning.
(I will probably go if end up in London later this year).

By investing in this store, Gibson avoids paying middlemen, and Gibson's products do not have to compete for attention with those of rivals.HackSaw wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2024 5:36 pmPersonally I’d rather like to visit the store, and reckon it’s way preferable marketing expense than all the free guitars they give to uber famous guitarists, that can actually afford to buy said guitars.

Re: Return of the Gibbons shocker thread!
The cool thing about buying old Gibson guitars is, they already made their margin, waaayyyy back.
I’m waiting for them to announce you can only ever buy a lease to “own” a Gibson. And any future growth in the value of the asset is theirs to take their share from.
