I saw the Gibson bus this summer- it's impressive in the sense you get on a tour bus and see how huge they are inside. They had one "room" that was strictly guitar amps, another room with a pod and a recording studio, then guitars on the walls. They reconfigure the bus depending what type of event it's going to

I went, but didn't take any pics. Didn't win the guitar or T Shirt either. The bus was alright, but obviously not their biggest one decked out. It basically had a guitar and amp in each corner, and some cool music decor.

I did fall in love with a violin burst Fender Select Tele, which I played for a few hours. It made me want to put something on the chopping block to acquire it. Such a nice tele! Ironic that it was a Gibson event, and I gravitated toward a Fender all day.
