RUMOR - Gibson closing (confirmed FALSE)

[m4rk0]

Isn't Gibson a Danish company now????

it's possible since the Dutch make "American Steel" and the Belgians and Americans now make "Canadian beer"

Wikipedia says this....

"Gibson Guitar is a privately held corporation (company stock is not publicly traded on a stock exchange), owned by chief executive officer Henry Juszkiewicz and president David H. (Dave) Berryman." 

Doesn't sound very Danish.  Maybe its just me, but they don't sound like musicians either.

No Gibson is not Danish.

And since nothing else has corroborated this story and Gibson is still very much alive, we can all agree that this rumor is false.
