Gibson pulls all videos?

I haven't actually checked YouTube to see if this was true....

Perhaps they are just going to start afresh with new videos.

I thought "they should get some more facts and information before they publish an article", then I remembered it's 2019 and those things are somewhat irrelevant.

Hmmm.  It does appear to be true.  No videos anyway.

Interesting, but probably meaningless...



... not that I care what Gibson does anyway

They took them down because no one was looking at them.  Why bother.  Everyone is looking at Warmoth videos!

I figured Gibson had gotten tired of the abuse... Maybe they hired a public relations guy with a brain and some cojones to clean up their image. If true, it's a start in the right direction. By now we know they won't win any court decisions.

Yeah, I figured they're going to try and pretend the past few months never existed and the new PR face wants a clean break. (While they try to say the same thing more diplomatically. Nice doggie)

Maybe someone at Gibson has figured out that guitars are not widgets or a "lifestyle brand."

Big step in the right direction!

Rock n Roll isn't a lifestyle?  Of course it is!  Ask Harley-Davidson if they make more money selling motorcycles or from brand licensing.  Gibson had the swagger to pull off something similar, but Henry forgot the company first has to be beloved by the masses.  I do like the 2019 lineup though, that was a good start

They made more from the motorcyles… But that's not helping them right now in the marketplace.
