[H Juszkiewicz (HenryJ)]

The only way I can really make this an exceptional and responsive site, is if I have some help from people that would like to help manage the site.

I am excited that two wonderful people have already volunteered to be moderators.

If you want to play a more important role here and have the time and the passion we would love you to be one of our lead moderators.

I hope to open up the Gibson company and the Gibson team to moderators and leaders, so you can talk directly to designers, builders, and just about anyone on our team. We will let you in on inside info and will sponsor meetings at our factories and at Nashville HQ. I would hope to meet with you regularly and give you my insights and knowledge base.

If this sounds interesting to you, let me hear from you. We need your leadership. Henry

Just a note.

1) Moderators should have more than basic knowledge of the products. (All Gibson Products)
2) Have a maturity level above the average forum poster.
3) As a guitarist of over 35 years professionally as well as a tinkerer, I don't want some 15 year old up in my face.
4) Many new members here are old members on the other Gibson forum. And by old I don't mean in years or knowledge.
5) Choose carefully. Ask for credentials for the sake of credibility.

This will help insure a smoother transition into the new Gibson arena.

Sincerely.
AXE®

[R Willard (Rybass)]

I'll second AXE. There is a lot of misinformation especially surrounding Gibson so people with knowledge and experience with the product would make the gears turn a bit smoother.

Great points. I agree and will proceed slowly.

Let me know if something is not working out well from your point of view.

Henry

[R Sage (AXE®)]

Ask anyone.

I will let you know.

That's no lie, Mr. Sage is nothing if not a straight shooter. Kinda cute, too

[P Petiniot (Blues4U)]

Mr. Juszkiewicz, PM sent-

I agree that Axe is a straight shooter, but I take exception with the "Kinda Cute" comment-- Well, he's cute in a non handsome sort of way;)

I also agree that there should be moderators with at least a semblance of life experience and maturity, a very good understanding of the entire product line as well as credentials (I have a man card) --

[S Angell (i am wet)]

I send a pm too, I'd like to be a mod if that's at all possible.

Thanks!

[T Manon (Tman5293)]

Just sent a PM. Hope I can still get in on being a moderator .

[D Garden (Davie Bluesman)]

Hi Henry, I'm a Gibson owner and player, I have four Gibsons at present among some other makes. I am a member of one or two other forums (non music based) and I would be willing to become one of your moderators. I see myself as a sensible individual (I should be though because I'm a 57 year old senior lecturer, I've been playing since I was 12)and although I'm not into political correctness I do see myself as fair and down to earth. I have written two or three guides for buyers on Ebay who are looking to purchase a Gibson so I take the subject of Gibsons and fake Gibsons seriously. I do have a very genuine interest. I am based in Glasgow, in Scotland and had I lived in Nashville I'd have been knocking on your door for a job.

[D Nichols (CR9)]

As the "admin" for the Johnny A. guitar registry and for the Chambered-Reissue web sites, I would like to assist as a forum moderator. I do believe that Henry J. knows me from several meetings at the Custom Shop, but maybe has forgotten my name. Rick Gembar and many in the Custom Shop know who I am. I was involved in the Custom Shop forum when it was run by Geoff Clarke at the Custom Shop. I have extensive knowledge of the Chambered Reissue and Johnny A. guitars and would like to help out.
Thanks,
CR9

Mr Henry; I have owned and played a Gibson guitar of one sort or the other for 30+ yrs. I began being a guitar owner at the ripe old age of 12 when I traided my mini bike for an old beat up F strat with warped neck. I was abrptely punished for this and still wear shame for this awful trade. To date I have had a few bands and work on instruments doing set ups and repaires along with instalations. I have done set ups for friends in Nashville, Allen Frizzell, to name one. I am now married to the love of my life the girl that aculy taught me how to play guitar(I only played in open E Delta blue style until age sixteen, it was all I knew.) She is a life long musician also and was in a family groop that sang and played at the org Grand Old Opery as well as alot of other larg venues. One of my guitar owning highlights has been to run accross and own a Gibson L-47 with P-90 installed at factory. I saw that Les Paul had one also. I tell you all this to give you an idea of my passion and love for the art of music and the instruments that make it. Also my excitment and love for the people that make that music and those instruments. They come in all races and backgrounds and it all works togather to create a melting pot of harmony and tones that are pleasing to a little blue planet and its inhabitents. I would love and enjoy being a part this and help in any way I am able. Sincerely, Rex Allen Moore. P.S. Yes my mother did name me after the Singing Cowboy, Rex Allen.
