Andre S Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Over last weekend, I went to see Fame at the cinema. I thought it to be a pretty good/ movie, but one thing I noticed. Out of all the guitars I saw, none were Gibsons! They were all strats and two tele's. All the strats look like they went through a fire, as did they Marshall MG amp they used in a dance scene...

Riffster Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 OK, I was a little concerned there. Just watch other movies with more likelyhood of showing Gibsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 "Cadillac Records," shows "Muddy Waters" with a Gibson LP '56 Goldtop. Looks to be mostly Fender Tweed amps (as would be appropriate, during that era). A couple of scenes, with brief shots of a Telecaster and case. One of the band members has a ES-335, as well. Lots of Fenders in "Dream Girls," too...but, toward the beginning, they have rather husky "Blues" player using a 3 P-90 equipped, Sunburst Epiphone Zepher Blues Deluxe. And..."Black Snake Moan," has Sam Jackson's character using an ES-335, and "natural" Gibson Acoustic ("Hummingbird"). So...you do see Gibson product placements, now and then.
