Bosmitch Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-20/gibson-beloved-guitar-maker-faces-crushing-560-million-debt I continue to be impressed by how well the LP's hold up in value (at least offering prices), but I wonder if quality will go down as the company struggles financially. I still maintain that my Monaco Pro Elite's feel and play MUCH better (TO ME) than my original 1983 Goldtop LP. I will never sell the 83 LP for sentimental reasons, but I really don't enjoy playing that guitar as much as I enjoy my Hamers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, out of all of the guitar models Gibson makes, Henry would be holding a Firebird X. It might be an old photo, but still very appropriate for illustrating Gibson's downhill slide....

I thought this guy went to Harvard? Also, he owns America's most iconic guitar company, but can't hold a guitar without looking like a dork.

It would be quite fitting based on a reference to classic literature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
