ksdaddy Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 now the dissing of Canadian guitar cases! Only the stinky ones. Speaking of Toronto, I have a 1947 Metzo violin my collection, made in Toronto. How freakin' rare is that? (This is where you likely tell me the attics of Toronto are insulated with them).

powerpopper Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I dunno. Some things in Canada are put together pretty darn well. (Sorry Karen' date=' I couldn't resist. No offense meant) [/quote'] Wow, is that our Karen? With the utmost respect, I would say that some things in Canada are put together very well indeed. What a great pic!

ballcorner Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Yes, Gibson officially announced Friday that all operations are moving to Newfoundland later in 2009 to facilitate the centralization of shipping to locations in Europe and Asia. Gibson officially announced the plan in a "Learn to speak Canadian" session put on for employees who will move with the factory. Senior executives will be pensioned off. Some will get jobs with Larivee in California, but the bulk of them will be fully put out to pasture. J45 appointed golf bags are already in the works - but each model will be slightly different.
