Members tim gueguen Posted March 31, 2010 Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 It seems that Henry Juszkiewicz has managed to upset Gibson's lenders, and if things don't change they may take action. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/cad42764-3924-11df-8970-00144feabdc0,dwp_uuid=e8477cc4-c820-11db-b0dc-000b5df10621.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members brianeharmonjr Posted March 31, 2010 Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 omgzz will my gibsons be worth 3 times more when they go under!? No. If this idiot can't get the bills payed someone will buy the company and production will continue. With a brand that's been around this long and that has this much patronage (even though they're a PITA to deal with), someone will drop the cash and keep it going.

Members strtdv Posted March 31, 2010 Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 I can't say I feel sorry for Gibson as a company.

Members newbuilder Posted March 31, 2010 Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 I had a buddy who was R&D for early fender and Peavey. While he was talking to Peavey about Gibsun...Peavey asked why he wouldtake over a struggling company when he has a perfectly good company already? I couldn't agree more with that line of thought. It would be a huge blow to the guitar comunity and Les Paul players would have to find a more consitant brand like ESP/Edwards:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CEO is the owner and there's no board of directors to fire him. Only way anything changes is if lenders start calling it in. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EG Yeah it sometimes amazes me how many people post on gibson and don't understand their ownership structure....that it's a private company and HE IS the owner.

Members Tidal Rhythm Posted March 31, 2010 Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 I just can't understand how any company can be facing financial questions from their lenders while at the same time having arguably the most coveted name recognition in the market, charging more for their products than their competitors, AND having such bad feedback from it's employees. HTF can you be in financial turmoil when you've been getting paid more for your products and clearly not investing significant portions of those earnings in your workforce?
