Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Unlikely - Chinese are a lot more interested in the CS/Reissue models than the regular ones nowadays. I've seen plenty deeming R9's not being high end enough and moving onto CC/True Historic/Murphy aged etc.werdna wrote:If Chinese interests buy Gibson, expect to see a lot more guitars with g headstock.

Agreed - Chinese move would be a challenge on many fronts...

Re: Return of the Gibson shocker thread!
Was watching that Mike Campbell gear run-down thing on YouTube. He gets out his '59 LP and tells us it cost more than his house. He goes on to say that '58s were good and so were the '60s, but the '59 is the one, the best one.... FFS. I figured this is the ultimate in cork sniffing. To state that at this highest level there's still a best version and that the others are inferior? Bollocks.godgrinder wrote:

For the record, his '59 was nothing to look at.

Re: Return of the Gibson shocker thread!
Hmm, Yamaha buying is not the dream scenario for New Zealand Gibson fans anyway. Don't get me wrong, I suspect I own more Yamahas than anyone here, I love their attention to detail and build quality (traditionally anyway). But, and it's a big but (hur, hur, big butt) they are a very conservative manufacturer with a very distant corporate structure. They will be very indifferent to microscopic markets like New Zealand, the whole range will be be pruned so only profitable lines are left and expect quality to improve, but Japanese manufacturing may become a part of the mix as part of the improvement. The distributors may find the relationship changed with the brand, Yamaha will be leveraging the whole range and expect different product lines to be purchased and minimum quantities. Don't expect artist relations to improve, unless they are huge and want essentially an existing guitar from the range with their name on the headstock. Expect little to no innovation, great you say, no Firebird X, yes but no chance of Gibson moving toward being a PRS, with lots of focus on guitarists or Fender, trying to have fun with the product lines. What could be great? Continued existence, but I don't think that is a real benefit, the brand is too valuable. My preferred buyer? PRS, but it's too small. Or maybe Fender, they are very respectful of brands and fans, but it might make them too bloated...
