ratherbwalkn Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Longtime lurker here and a not so often poster, I just saw a video that disturbs me only in sense that I along with a lot of other people I know really hope Gibson does well in the future, so I sharing this video and its made me wonder, thought I would share. https://www.reddit.com/link/c1p9kc/vide ... 431/player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbpicker Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) Could you be more specific as to what bothers you about the video? Everyone views things a little differently, but I didn’t see anything that set me off. Perhaps I’m missed something. Granted, it’s a pretty strong stance that I’ve not seen before, but there is an awful lot of copying going on out there.

blindboygrunt Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 This video is doing the rounds, jumped on by the many folk who feel the need to poo poo a particular brand , Gibson being a favourite target Perhaps young mark might have came across poorly as all I've read is that hes against copies and the like , but to me I just seen it as trying to extrapolate on the 'only a Gibson is good enough ' marketing plan. I dont think he did anything wrong as such , just played into the hands of the people who will twist comments to suit them , the video makes it very easy for those folk .

BluesKing777 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I wasn’t expecting that! Was a bit desperate sounding, eh? You fellas not paying your fees? Anyway, job and video well done Mark and back to Norman’s please - don’t get the new chap at all. BluesKing777. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratherbwalkn Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 I guess you are right it must look like Im just picking on Gibson,( wasn't my intent ) I cant see anything wrong with that video. I do know they have had some issues over the years, and I thought I would share the video, Im glad you see it in a positive light. , I've followed Mark for years at Norms and really like the guy and still do. And I still hope Gibsons management right the ship so to speak. Although, I guess to be specific was he suggesting Martin sue everybody that uses X bracing, thats kind of what I heard? Thats just one of the many questions that crossed my mind while watching the video? And again thats me, I hope potential future buyers saw it as good reason to want to buy a Gibson! Because they make really good guitars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holiday Hoser Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 The world is simply a copy of what came before. My late 1800's mandolin has the same open book headstock shape as a Les Paul so there Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
