Re: Return of the Gibson shocker thread!
Loved that video.
Ash said to me once that guitars are aesthetically out of step with other tech in that they still show screws. The new HP Les Pauls don't have visible screws on the front side, except for the truss rod cover. I've said this before here but they look good enough to buy.

It's easy to hate on Henry but wasn't Gibson in even worse shape than now when he took over in the 80's?
Probably the best that could've happened.The filings will allow the Company's Musical Instruments and Professional Audio businesses to continue to design, build, sell, and manufacture legendary Gibson and Epiphone guitars, as well as KRK and Cerwin Vega studio monitors and loud speakers, without interruption. As part of this process, Gibson will wind-down operations of its Gibson Innovations business which includes its Philips consumer electronics subsidiary. The acquisition of Philips' electronic division in 2014 is viewed as a major source of the Gibson's illiquidity over the past several years.

Imagine Gibson under JB. Next year's Gibson model range: only historic '58s, '59s and '60s. Just what the doctor ordered.

Re: Return of the Gibson shocker thread!
I've actually thought for a long time that's exactly what Gibson should be doing. Just keep making reissues of all their classics.werdna wrote:Imagine Gibson under JB. Next year's Gibson model range: only historic '58s, '59s and '60s. Just what the doctor ordered.
It's kinda what Fender are doing...
Leave innovation to the PRS's of this world

Re: Return of the Gibson shocker thread!
they need to drop that Life-Style-Brand crap.
we've been sucked in by the best sales people around, profit over every other factor is BS, cheapen the brand by selling stuff made cheap overseas then ramp up the price of the home built stuff.
companies are basically selling cheap stuff with their name on it.

There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

Re: Return of the Gibson shocker thread!
Fender do lots of weird shit as well but they make these in Mexico or China and they're cheap. When Gibson do a weird model it's usually a megabucks custom shop jobbie which just adds to the ridiculousness...Miza wrote: I've actually thought for a long time that's exactly what Gibson should be doing.
