EuroAussie Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Join Gibson on Facebook, they sometimes have competitions. I remember couple weeks ago they had a competition where they gave away a J-200. Now, you might have some competiotion, but you never know until you try it ...

ParlourMan Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I was quite amused by it... nothing like setting your sights high when shouting out for free stuff.... ;) I feel kind of let down though, there was no attached sob story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 If you're in London I have one you could borrow - I also have a broken Japanese Kimbara acoustic that needs some work that you are welcome to. I am going up get rid of it soon down the dump. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfox14 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Sure I have tons of free guitars to give away. You just have to pay for shipping and HANDLING charges which can be rather expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-minor7 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Seems you are on square 1 kerwin. First move is to learn a trick. (maybe you have one already) Second is to find a good place to perform it. The right sidewalk tile. Then take an orange piece of chalk and make some kind of mark/line/half circle. Down goes the hat – up goes the trick – click say the coins. Maybe even write a little sign : I aiming at a Gibson acoustic ! Before you know it something will happen - Let the summer show. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajay Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I make it a point to never give away any of my Gibsons. Now, if I had an old Martin laying around, you'd be welcome to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 C'mon this has to be somebody pulling our collective chain.

j45nick Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 C'mon this has to be somebody pulling our collective chain. I agree with parlourman - a story replete with all kinds of heartache might have helped. Hey, I paid $5 for my first guitar. It was an old Mexican cedar slot-head nylon-string that I converted to steel strings. Even put a pickguard on it. I didn't understand why it looked like it wanted to fold up like a cheap suit with those strings on it. There are plenty of cheap guitars out there, and if he really wants a guitar, that's a good place to start. Don't expect anybody to hand you a fine guitar for nuthin', at least until you prove you "deserve" it. You'll also need some cash to buy strings every year or so ( ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin 1940D28 Maybe you should take your 1940 D-28 off into a corner and play for a while just to calm down. Music doth calm the savage beast......

Martin 1940D28 Well, there's the sob story I was after.... it's a bit more fiery than it is downtrodden though! Personal platform rants aside, if you object to how your tax contributions are being spent wouldn't it be better to vent to an elected official in your constituency/town/city/country? ..or get involved yourself and try to make small changes that lead to greater change? Seems more sensible that political ranting on a guitar enthusiasts forum! As for the taxes, I have the great 'joy' of being employed in a world that has now become a dirty word, I'm in banking, Global trading, investments, ICSD, custodianship, all the dirty ones so you would believe, all I would say is; It's not often I rise to a post such as this but what was written comes over as bolted together tabloid-snippets. I can only suggest reading a higher calibre of newspaper or news websites to get a richer, more rounded picture of the workings of what you're complaining about and that you direct your commentary in a suitable direction. Have a nice day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
