Re: Return of the Gibbons shocker thread!
I've clearly been missed off the email distribution list again, but why is Gibson now referred to as Gibbons?
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Re: Return of the Gibbons shocker thread!
It's a bit involved by now but if you head to guitarcirclejerk on reddit you'll see. It's a bit of a thing to intentionally (and creatively) misspell famous brands and musicians that are overdone and seen as overrated. Basically taking the piss out of the established paradigm of the guitar industry. It's a good tone, like a mirror of truth that there's a lot of really dumb shit permeating this entire hobby.
My personal favourite is Joe Bonermaster for that guy who wears a suit and collects vintage Gibsons.
