Some upcoming Unknown Artists or Bands would be cooler! IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the actual thread's subject - JC is going out on a limb with this I think. Rising artists will often change their guitar brand, or use more than one. Embarrassing if Gibson invests in a guitarist and he switches to or just gets his picture taken with a Taylor or a Fender. Simply posting photos of artists performing live with Gibsons would be cheaper and just as effective. A page on their website. Could hi-light some to encourage people to go find them on UTUBE. Bottom line: I'm not buying a Slash 'record' just because it has "Gibson Records" on it, anymore than I'd buy a guitar just because it has 'Gibson' on the headstock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Right. It can seem like Gibson is trying to rest on it's laurels. You know, the Gibson "name" is supposed to be attached to some kind of reliability and quality rep that the name alone should assure good sales, and making it seem that more and more recording artists are using Gibson instruments should translate into people flocking to Gibson dealers.

Maybe, but not if it’s written into your Contract that you endorse & play Gibsons.. If you don’t your in breach & your Contract can become null & void or worse….. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the super heavy weights can get away with that. rct 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 It's Slash plus Myles Kennedy and The Constipators and one article says: Myles Kennedy needs no introduction. Yes, he does, I have no idea who he is. Looks like he married a pretty blonde woman. She doesn't look to be totally nuts like the very strange Mrs. Fripp. Does anyone else need an introduction or am I the only one who is totally out of it?
