murkat Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Two weeks ago, I had put in my notice of resignation at the Gibson Custom Shop, Pro Shop Luthier employee. Today was my last of days. Was a great tenor of time, I learned some things, met alot of great people, great co workers, Lots of Stars and guitars. So, now I am free of the clutches and binders of the H. J., Game on. I declare independence . I am feeling really good right now.
