Does that mean my '59 Cherry Sunburst is now worthless?

I already decided to donate it to the Sanctuary movement, or maybe Nancy Pelosi.

Meh.

I'd take a Clapton Signature Custom Shop Strat any day of the week over an LP.

Their side business's...dumb bastards get away from what you know, leverage and look what it gets you.

Maybe it will make the price of a 58 Gibson Explorer drop..maybe Allen Collins daughter or Ricky Medlocke will have to part with theirs now, and I can get it for a grand or so.

I don't think many people understand how poorly that company was run. You'd swear it was intentional sabotage.

Also, I am completely bewildered by the "relic" line of guitars. The prices are retarded...and the concept itself absolutely baffles me as to why anyone would want "simulated road wear"... :?

Why can't your wife make babies? Her dick get in the way? :)
We're done making babies. We have grandkids now.

Women in your world have dicks? Shocking. You should hang out with Screwball.

At least we've never seen Screwy posting nude selfies on a male board.
No, but we have seen him talk about chicks with dicks. Like you do. Sounds like you two have found some common ground.

So, what will become of Gibson?

Somebody out there has to be willing to buy it and unfukk it.

Is part of the problem that there are no Jimi Hendrixes or Pete Townsends out there willing to light on fire or smash to bits their perfectly good guitars and buy new ones the next day?

Is it that people realize the old ones are so valuable, they take good care of them and they last forever? So, little demand for new ones?

Or are the owners just incompetent?

Are they to running a guitar company what Hillary is to running a political campaign?

It's all in how the guitar is set up. I had a friend who had an epiphone Les Paul. That thing shredded. I would seriously consider buying one if I were in the market.

Gibson isn't the only American company doing that. Most companies have too many managers whose job is to improve efficiency, but most changes have more to do with eliminating quality in the name of generating more profit.
