The man who saved Gibson,is gone..

[merseybeat1963 25]

I wonder what is to become of them..is Ted McCarthy still alive?

['Scales 521]

Slash is gone? Where?

[sparquelito 654]

Ted McCarty died in 2001.

No, he is talking about Sal, who has singlehandedly kept Gibson Acoustic afloat for the last few years!

 

Now buying into Takamine, I hear.....

Give it a couple months and he’ll sell it to buy an lg2 american eagle

Don’t think he’s ever had one of those

Bet 1 to 55 that good ThemisSal will keep his new 2012 Hummingbird and the J-50.

Time will tell

Sal won't sell

[merseybeat1963 25]

No..he is talking about Henry.

Orville knew about timing !

[Jinder 165]

Is Henry actually gone?! Would love a link so we can read more!

[Red 333 136]

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.

"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.

[jvi 96]

maybe Martin needs 10 different d 18 models....

Be careful what you wish for.

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.

Only way to find out is to apply for the job...then set 'em straight on these matters!

[fortyearspickn 411]

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.

[AngelDeVille 132]

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.
