djroge1 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 All I can say is that if I find one I'm buying it now more than ever. Even if it doesn't become the modern moderne then it will be a conversation starter for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Matthew Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 If anyone ever finds them for sale somewhere, please post where. I think I would like to have one. If nothing else, for when my son gets old enough to start playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bill Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 The VERY sad thing Bill? BIG TIME Money' date=' not normal business type sales, BIG MONEY. The guy who thought this up must have been fired by now because Gibson, indeed as you said, have be SEVERLY hurt by this, greed mate. Not greed by Gibson, that is not the way this works, but the team who bought this idea on board will not work in the guitar industry again in my opinion.I love smaller companies because of this sort of stuff yanno? [/quote'] Yeah, a few folks had to agree with the original idea and approve the production. Wow, can you imagine how much money was lost on this? The loss in PR has got to be the worse. The best decision was close the door on this whole project and pretend it never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyK Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 You don't suppose it is the last fix to extricate the main frame of the last vestages of the virus that was implanted that also caused the great Gibson Forum Crash of 2009? DoYou? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzoboy Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I looked up Gibson on glassdoor.com last night and what current and ex Gibson employees had to say about Henry's business acumen wasn't at all positive or flattering.If what they say is the case then it's no surprise that this debaucle was allowed to get as far as it did.

bword Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I don't see how anyone could buy one of these. People seem to forget that they directly control the market by their spending habits. Why would one want to support such an act from such a company? I'm not trying to preach morals and ethics but lets think about this. If you disagree with the release of this guitar, why on Earth would you ever buy one? Seems logical to me. Oh, and Gibson, you really suck for this one. You can hit delete all you want but anytime I hear someone mention buying a Gibson I am going to run down the laundry list as to why they shouldn't, including the Hendrix Strat Copy fiasco. Then I'll suggest they buy an older, used Paul so that you won't receive a penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
