Larsongs Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Today is June 10, 2020. The year is half over. The Country is re-opening for Business. When will Gibson & Epiphone USA resume building Guitars? I'm particularly interested in the USA Casinos... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Casinos are available all over the place. If you are interested than go check one out. Why are you concerned about current production levels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsongs Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) Thanks for the feedback. I'm aware I can buy many different Casinos. Maybe you guys aren't familiar with the new USA Model that is supposed to be coming out... I'm concerned because I've been waiting for these new USA Casinos to be Produced since last year!!! I already have 3 Casinos in my Collection. A Vintage Sunburst Peerless w/ Bigsby like Paul & George had. A Natural Finish IBJL Revolution like John had. Also, a Vintage Sunburst 50th Anniv. 1961 RI w/Tremotone like Keith had.... I have no intention of parting with them. The next one I want is the new Inspired by Gibson USA Casino in Royal Tan...

There was at least a month, when there was no production, so there was depletion of most models at guitar dealers. When they resume production (if they haven't done so already), they will ship them to multiple dealers all at once, when a full run (series of models) is completed. That is by design, as to not create disbalances in the supply-side of the equation. I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I'm sure they have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 The customer service fellow I spoke with a few days ago said they were back at it. We no longer use lemon oil for the neck, the preferred method is now a pre moistened Lysol wipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsongs Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) I don't know what Gibson is doing? That's why I asked my question.. With all the Gibson TV YouTubes I haven't seen any pertaining to what's going on at the Factories & whether or not they've resumed Guitar Production. It seems if you've got a New USA built Casino finally in Production it would warrant some chatter on their Gibson YouTube Shows? Or something? So far as I know..... Nada.. I've had one on order since last year... I'm curious! Edited June 11, 2020 by Larsongs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 That pricing is rather iconic. I wonder how they're going to fare with the shut down, it seems like a really bad time to buy a company and try to get it back on its feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They begrudgingly accepted it in lieu of the money they were owed. So they weren't happy about getting the company in the first place, I'm pretty sure they are far from overjoyed today. rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Heck, life is short anyway...a guy might as well own Gibson Brands Inc for a while along the way I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihcmac Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) Hmmm, I would think they had enough revenue coming in from Epiphone to keep them afloat. Unless cutting Epiphones product line in half was a mistake, all thought they have started offering a few low end bolt-ons again.. I wonder if Corvette would survive without the rest of GM.

rct Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Revenue was less their problem than really bad spending. Really bad. rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at one point GM had more or less the same W body car coming off the lines with Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac, Saturn badges on it? I think Gibbyphone was wise to cut the Epiphone product line in half. It was starting to look like one of those never-ending restaurant menus, the question being "What flavor of Les Paul would you like? We have dozens to choose from."

My point was, Gibson should be supported and not worry about breaking even while receiving an endowment for the arts from Epiphone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
