Let's see, they own Slingerland, Oberheim, Wurlitzer, Baldwin, TC Electronic, Steinberger, and Epi... maybe there's gonna be an employee jam?

You're relocating the company to Scottsdale or Fullerton or Corona? Hey, at least it doesn't generally flood in those places.

NASA will launch the first Les Paul into space!

[K Hermansader (Keith H)]

My guess is it will have something to do with Gibson branded guitar manufacturing being moved overseas.

Bring back Orville by Gibsons?

I think he meant "overseas" as in the famous quote...

My suggestion:

Amazon is doing Gibson logistics and sales worldwide (even to dealers) after Dec.11, just before chrismas business starts.

[M Acton (BluesDisciple)]

Hmmm ... I sense a new guitar coming along, AND moving the plant out of a flood zone?

[J Eddison (Shred Astaire)]

You're hiring Greg?!

[R Moore (Rexm)]

Love the madness and speculation!
