BluesKing777 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 No, he is talking about Sal, who has singlehandedly kept Gibson Acoustic afloat for the last few years! Now buying into Takamine, I hear..... BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 No, he is talking about Sal, who has singlehandedly kept Gibson Acoustic afloat for the last few years!

E-minor7 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Bet 1 to 55 that good ThemisSal will keep his new 2012 Hummingbird and the J-50. Time will tell Sal won't sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 333 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Gibson has been advertising for a CEO. I believe Henry stepping aside for a new CEO is part of the bankruptcy restructuring agreement. He will still be an owner. Red 333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boyd Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/gibson-drops-new-guitars-ceo-amid-financial-mess-719342/ "As part of that reform plan, Juszkiewicz, who has headed up Gibson since the Eighties, left the company, leaving them on the lookout for a new leader." This part doesn't sound very encouraging.... Gibson’s new CEO will ideally have a background in major consumer products, digital engagement and e-commerce, as well as “experience in acquiring and integrating complementary businesses.” Music industry experience is preferred, but not required.

merseybeat1963 Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Will they hire someone who hasn't the foggiest idea? Pure cut and dried "business" ain't gonna work here..these are professional musical instruments we are talking about here. The raid that niked all that wood really did them in man.When your own gov. nearly brings down without thought its own historic legacy you gotta wonder in who's interest's they are working for.

fortyearspickn Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Yep. A well-planned, strategic strike. Eliminate all of a companies key raw material, which is extremely difficult to replace - sort of like "Attempted Murder". Henry did all to recover from that. but, of course, they were already too heavily in debt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelDeVille Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 How many J-45 models does Gibson have? There were 3 when I bought mine new in 1999.... Haven’t looked at them since, or needed another since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
