What time and where is this press conference--One would think if there were to be a press conference, that somebody would know when and where it is--:-)

Flick...you do realize that you or a duly appointed representative must, nay, shall be in attendance with a notebook computer (or better) and an internet connection to post what the magic dingus is, as it is announced! Posted Image

I would like an explanation of why we were all told the announcement was suppose to be yesterday and in fact, the announcement of the announcement was last night??

With all of the hype and some of the disappointment, this better be a new guitar capable of constructing your very own Victoria's Secret model--:-)

I'm pretty sure that Henry had mentioned earlier that the technology would allow for the pickups to be "programmed" via computer hookup to sound like any other pickup out there...single coil...p-90...humbucker etc...including any type of pickup that can be dreamed up by the player...

...this would eliminate the need for carting around various guitars with various pickups with "signature" sounds and characteristics...you would only need to have a single guitar that provides any sound you desire...

It looks like there was a release announcement last May 7th...I must have been in a coma back then...ha ha ha...

How often does Gibson hold full blown press conferences to make announcements...as opposed to "simple" written press releases...???...Does a conference indicate more "importance" or "weight" than just your average everyday run-of-the-mill release...???...

Henry, hope you have streaming video of the event. Also, setting aside one of door prizes to give out to your loyal "Gibson Forum" participants would be appreciated as well. Hey, all of our comments and suggestions are being sent your way to help improve all things Gibson, so come on, throw us a bone here ;o)
