Members rushtallica Posted September 25, 2009 Members Share Posted September 25, 2009 I want one of the guitars and a Bugera.I'd tour that rig.Then if (when) the Bugera ends up smoking I'd light up the guitar and smash it through the Bugera and then take both with me to the top of a tall building and jump off with the rig and create a new legacy -- the unknown guitarist with the Bugera'd Gibson Jimi Sig Strat.

Members pro1-54 Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 Seems like Gibson has pulled anything to do with this venture from their website and erased all the blogs - they still have a tribute piano () for $168khttp://www2.gibson.com/Products/Pianos/Grand/Baldwin-Custom/Jimi-Hendrix.aspxOTOH, someone has come up with a great contender to sell beside the JIMI at Wally World; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RussAnderson Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 this is getting extremely bad press everywhere, im sure Gibson have noticed by now .there certainly hellbent in destroying the Gibson name this indeed is a very very poor decision that they cannot afford to keep making . clearly the new market executives are going for the greenbacks and leaving the quality at the back door every since there relocation move in europe here .

Members teemuk Posted September 28, 2009 Members Share Posted September 28, 2009 I don't really understand why anyone should even care. Aside their trademarks, both Gibson and Fender have nothing in common with the corporate entities they were in the times when Jimi Hendrix was still alive. Fender - I believe - no longer owns none of its original factories, and Gibson is pretty much in the same state. The staff of both companies is completely different from Jimi's days as well. Also, nowaydays the name Jimi Hendrix is as well just a trademark amongst others so if they want to sell Jimi Hendrix toilet paper or any other {censored} I don't really care. If they want to charge ludicrous sums of money for it because it sports some regognised trademark I will just laugh my ass off to guys who are stupid enough to buy that stuff. It's not like I would be loosing something when they make fools out of themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO that would be their best option right now and it looks as though it may be the case since everything about the guitar on any Gibson site is now GONE like you posted.Gibson doing Hendrix models is ok IMO but they need to be high end and actually be models of the Gibsons Jimi used.The piano is silly but it's not a Fender style guitar made by Gibson.

There's no uproar because it's {censored}ty and everyone knows it's {censored}ty. We are a music/instrument based forum (guitar, just incase you didn't realise :poek), so something instrument based is gonna make us take notice and provide more discussion. TBH, selling merchandise isn't something new, however, taking whatever the {censored} kinda guitar you feel like, putting his name on it and calling it the "jimi hendrix experience" just takes the {censored}ing cake for a group of people who hold jimi, music and guitar in general to a high regard. What's the matter with you anyway? You wouldn't happen to be part of the family/gibson company would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
