Seriously? They've got problems, but this piling on of hate for the sake of hate should settle down. Bag on 'em for the stuff they do, not the stuff you think they've done, or you imagine they've done, or what some yahoo said they did. Show some sense.

I guess what I'm getting at is this.... Some of you sound like you want Gibson destroyed, razed to the ground, and all management killed. If you think this, get a grip!

The loss of Gibson would NOT be a good thing. I want them to straighten their **** out, make good stuff all the time, and a decent profit. There IS enough to go around for every other maker, as well as Gibson. Heck, if they left - who would all the Chinese counterfeiters copy?

Haha ICT -this thread was your idea -well kind of. :lmao:

Nobody on here so far has expressed wanting Gibson to out and out fail. just be better, and lose the hypocrisy -Nobody is upset with stopping counterfeits, or business set up to fool the consumers into thinking a Dean is a Gibson.

This thread was supposed to be fun and just illuminate on historical hypocrisy -and Gibson is certainly not the only one at fault.

Let's bring the fun back.

There is another thread going on here where they ARE to the point of breaking out the torches and pitchforks.

This is about 10 hours old, but it's new to me. Gibson appears to be pulling the old "tail between the legs" maneuver.

Truly a Gibson? -yes they invented the Tuneomatic Bridge System over 70 years ago

But nothing else -as they didn't event Grover Tuners, Block Inlays, Stainless Steel Frets, Open Book 3/3 Headstock, steel strings or even the guitar Humbucking transducer!!!!!!!

That's a photoshop job. If that thing actually existed, you'd see a lot more of it than a single photo on the internet.

No, it's real. made for their NAMM booth from what I understand. only a few were made.

of course i"m citing internet sources so I haven't actually seen it though.

A reverse image search yields no trustworthy results and no results that connect that mockup to NAMM. What year was it, do you know?

I feel the Corvus might have been inspired by this guy:

You realize at this point sending these claim forms to Gibson is useless, don't you? They are tossing them in the trash, and you are wasting your time.

Point of order, you dont have to invent something to get a trademark for it. UPS didnt invent brown vans but try open a delivery company with brown vans and see what happens. I even know of a drag racer who had painted a car red with a bendy white stripe down the side, this was enough to get Coca Cola Corp involved. (it did look pretty similar to a coke can) Nothing happened but they did ask him to remove or modify it before any further action occurred.

The point is you dont have to invent something to become known for it and it to become your trademark.
