The Gibson Garage Nashville!

No Gibby-heads on here anymore?
This is about a 4.5 hour drive for me but we'd already been planning a trip later in the summer and were going to stop in Nashville anyways to visit the Parthenon.
What gets me excited is the Kramers and the various Mesa amps to play through., many of which I've never tried like the Badlander and JP-2c.

We used to go there a lot when I was 19-20 and trip on shrooms at night.
Now that sounds like a good time man. Too bad I'll have to be in semi-mature dad mode,,,,,but that's sure fun too in it's own way.
My parents used to love Nashville trips in the 80's, but we only did the Parthenon once that I can remember. My son is big into Greek mythology so he's really pumped.

I couldn't get past the Niko dude's jeans by Derilicte.
Simulating the struggle of poverty for street credibility via a fashion statement is a strange thing.

Also, Mark is wearing the shirt of a band that never touched a Gibson :lmao: Maybe he's cooler than we know.

Lastly, there's probably a decent chance you get sued by Gibson if you take a picture in there. :lmao:

I bet it is pretty easy to try out several guitars there.
Haaa. can you imagine that place on a Saturday with a line of tourists outside and 20 people pointing to guitars on the track 20 ft overhead asking if they can try "that one"
It's going to be Gruhn guitars + 9-11. every weekend.

I don't think the ones on the conveyor are for trying out, it's the ones in the little demo rooms. Then, when they get dinged up, they sell them on Reverb, truth be told, some of them are decent deals - https://reverb.com/shop/gibsondemoshop
I was actually starting to like the thought of an LP, but then, I see one of Marks videos..,

I mean, hopefully this goes better than Gibson's last attempt with the Gibson Valley Arts Mall store in East Nashville.

Nailed it.
The fact that Corner Music closed in Nashville and Gibson opened this is totally criminal... Corner Music was the sh*t!
Doubt it will be crowded at all by late summer in the middle of a weekday, but who knows, and I'd be just fine with grabbing a floyded Epi to try out some Mesa models.
Might even test how long it takes to be told I need to keep the volume a bit lower so as to not injure all their little country-soft ears.
Couldn't give a rat's tail about the hanging LPs but I have always wanted to see what nicer Kramers are like in-person. Never had any Kramers dealers nearby to my knowledge.

Weird Coincidence -I'm in Nashville tomorrow and it opens tomorrow!
Man, I'd have to be some kind of sadomasochist to go there on opening day -but I'll do a drive by and if it's empty and Mark's looking lonely I'll go in.
Will report back.
