I did not see Gibson donated 25 k worth of guitars to Ford or did I not read it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 No, you didn't read it wrong. It would certainly have been a much better story if it were Gibson donating the guitars. I guess Ford didn't want to donate cars. I just thought it was cool that they chose Gibson Acoustics, and jazzed them up. If this is a donation of $25K - That's maybe 25 guitars. Ford's not making much of a dent. Pun intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly campbell Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 It is Great but I too wish Gibson would have matched the donation. Good for Ford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvi Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Canadians can donate to vets thru guitars for vets at Long-Mcquade, good on Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Gibson does it's own programs. This one has the Ford stamp on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holiday Hoser Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Did anyone catch the Country Music Awards last night. Luke Combs did team up with Ford and Gibson for guitars for vets. But the one thing I noticed there was not a acoustic guitar brand that wasn't a Gibson all night! Tons of all flavors and even Taylor Swift played a Gibson instead of her usual Taylor. A couple Teles and Sho=Bud slides but the rest were all product placement Gibby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my favorite performance was Carrie Underwood. Edited September 18, 2020 by Dave F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
