Henry J talks the future of Gibson Guitars

Re: Henry J talks the future of Gibson Guitars

I'm not up on the latest tech, but it seems most of what is out there is created via computer loops and auto-tune. Soon, whatever is left of the industry won't even need carbon-based (human) performers. Digitally generated holographic "performers" that don't require payment are inevitable.

That already exists... apparently its a thing in Japan

Re: Henry J talks the future of Gibson Guitars

The problem with your question is the word MOSTLY. Of course, they are not MOSTLY low quality, but there is ample evidence in the marketplace that Gibson has a problem with quality control. I should know - I've worked on a number of them for clients.

And it doesn't take a high percentage of defects to cause a ripple, you understand? Even 3 percent is too darn much. Many of the problems I've seen are obvious, and that's cause for concern. You CANNOT let quality control slide, the bar has to be set HIGH across the board. Returns for service, complaints, etc., should be less than 1 guitar out of every 1000 that leaves the shipping dock. And Gibson should stand behind their product 100 percent - repair or refund, make the maximum effort to put a smile on EVERY owner out there.

Do you have data that demonstrates Gibson does not stand behind their products?
It is a privately held company and the data is not available to the general public...without data all this anti Gibson anti Henry talk is meaningless...

You will NOT find a single anti-Gibson word in my posts.
Anti-Henry - you bet.

I just got a spam email from Gibson. They are offering free shipping all of Labor Day weekend. So if I buy a $3500 guitar you will ship it for free?

Thus far, they are "Blockbustering" ... Pretending there are no problems and they might go away.

They are most likely stalling to wait on new leadership... Most likely they have no other marching orders to fall back on.

PE driven financing is more about getting money out of a system than nurturing and growing. So it is likely that nothing will change until new leadership takes over.
