Torren61 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I just heard a rumour that's circulating on MLP. Apparently, Gibson in Memphis and Nashville had a meeting with their employees yesterday at quitting time and told them that they are closing for an indefinite period of time. Personally, I didn't believe it but I wondered if any of you have heard anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepblue Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 If its true thats terrible. These are tough times for everyone. If anything they will probably be scaling down a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homz Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Now I can't find the Badjuju thread. Must have been deleted. To paraphrase: He said they did have a company meeting and nothing was said about shutting down the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torren61 Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 Thread deleted to protect the innocent .... As this one should be .... What are you talking about? If it's true then it's kinda important news to the folks that lurk here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 What are you talking about? If it's true then it's kinda important news to the folks that lurk here. Don't you think it would hit the newspapers before it hit the forums? People can say whatever they want but where's the proof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torren61 Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 Sure do. I called the Commercial Appeal Newspaper in Memphis and asked them and they knew nothing about it. However that didn't stop over four pages of posts in MLP. I'm simply asking a question that seems to have been answered here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torren61 Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 That's odd. Since it was about politics, it should have been on a political forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundergod Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 As I stated before, that would be great... specially for guys that own lots of gibsons... they might come up in price when the stores are cocmpletely out of them (or when the stores rise the prices stupidly just because there are none being made). You see, it doesn't matter what happens at this time, we already got ours so we will be fine, and if it happened then we would get the chance to try other brands: fender, hamer, hell, even those EVH newest perfect greatest ever guitars.

Bluemoon Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 My guess is that if there is any truth to this...Gibson is slowing down production or halting production until the existing inventory is sold. It is happening in many factories around the states. Your halt production and furlough your factory workers until biz picks up. Why keep producing an item that nobody is buying right now?

Torren61 Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 Well, if I have fueled the rumour fire....sorry. It seemed like the most logical place to verify or discount a rumour like this is the Gibson forum site itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
