daveinspain Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Well it's official... Gibson files for chapter 7.... Gibson will stop all operations and go completely out of business. A trustee has been appointed to "liquidate" (sell) the company's assets and the money will be used to pay off the debt. A Gibson spokes man was reported saying " It is with great sadness we had to make the decision to end the manufacturing of one of America's true icons of "Made in USA" workmanship and pride " http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd71/Daveinspain_PB/fool.jpg[/img]]Read the full Financial Times story here.

daveinspain Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Ok' date=' now how are you going to feel when it really does happen? [biggrin'] LOL. That will never happen... It wouldn't go down that way. Someone else would buy it or they would do a Chapter 11 and regroup if it ever came to that which I don't think it will...
