In super-secret maybe true news, Henry Juszkiewicz has 'left' Gibson. I just heard it from two totally separate sources (one guy used to work there and another still does), take it with a large pinch of salt for now though.

Word is that this was one the last guitars that he was directly involved in, so you should grab it now for $4000, IT CAN ONLY GO UP IN VALUE!!!!

I hate that the guy is essentially being rewarded for his complete and total incompetence, and quite frankly horrific taste in instruments, but I’m happy that at least that senile, delusional idiot has been removed from power.

Here’s to hoping the new guy is able to build guitars musicians actually want at price points actual human beings can afford.

Corporate America is full of these guys and they are the reason 'golden parachute' is a commonly known phrase. (I'm sure you all can insert your own jokes about the president Juszkiewicz loves so dearly.)

Yeah I realize Henry is far from the only one like him, but golden parachute or not, it’s still nice that he’s gone.

I wonder if the new guy will put a cap on the particularly absurd garbage Gibson is churning out these days, like that $6000 acoustic that only comes in lime green, or those $5000 gimmick Les Paul customs with Floyd roses and neon finishes.

I actually wonder if that’s part of the reason their prices are so high. Assuming they’re not just arbitrarily high because of psychological pricing, I wonder if Gibson is “forced” to jack up the prices of their sure-fire sellers to compensate for all their complete failures.

Now I kind of want that lime-green J-45. Just as a stupid (and expensive) memento of H.J.

they actually do drop prices every few years (iirc the most recent drop was in 2015), and sales go to poo poo so they jack them back up and sales go back to normal

What is that even supposed to be? A J160e with a mini humbucker? Don't they know that the only version of that anybody in the Gibson audience would ever buy is continuous recreations of the Beatles ones?

People taking lovely doodles done off the cuff with minimal practice featuring a singer who very obviously cannot sing very well (and is well aware of that) extremely seriously never ceases to amuse me. They've been doing this for like a year now, but suddenly people are getting real mad because it's a song they like getting mangled for humor value for once

That said that was probably one of the worst takes out of them all and I mean, they did Take on Me very, very poorly a couple of months back so that's saying something
