Soundcheck is the biggest enclosed rehearsal studio in the world, and it houses instruments and tour sets. There Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kulardenu Posted May 5, 2010 Members Share Posted May 5, 2010 Will this go the way of the oil industry and result in an across the board 30% increase on Gibson Products? I can see Jay Turser LP copies going up 15%... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised he hasn't fashioned 10-12 Les Pauls into a raft and made his way back down to New Orleans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BoneNut Posted May 5, 2010 Members Share Posted May 5, 2010 {censored}! I'm not a fan but that seriously sucks. I hope people's jobs are secure. Knowing Gibson though, I'm sure they'll now offer guitars with the exclusive water treated then dried timber. Of course, they'll be a bit more expensive since it requires more hands on approach.

Members Darkstorm Posted May 5, 2010 Members Share Posted May 5, 2010 Humm. Some group of fanatic gibson collectors will prob come along and buy out the water damaged lot. Rare historical gibsons from the flood of 2010. Then of course theres the insurance money from losses. See's no economical loss for gibson really as a result.

Apparently Brad Paisley and Keith Urban are looking at major losses, as is Nashville session guitarist Jerry McPherson, as they all had stuff at Soundcheck and it was heavily flooded. The Grand Old Opry also suffered from flooding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
