We'll never hear six versions of Crazy Train and Stairway To Heaven simultaneously. Ever. Again.

Hi,
 
Kharma? For stealing equipment and not returning it to its right owner?

Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!

Gibson stays alive shipping them guitars that they can't pay for. That could be quite the house of cards. Fender would take a shot too.

If there is one thing I would scoop up if it was on massive discount - an American made, hot pink Charvel.  (even though fender owns the company).   Its like a bad ass guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

too many lasers...

If this happens, I assume they'll take Musicians Friend down with them. Sure would miss the SDotD. And Sweetwater doesn't carry G&L guitars. I only have two at the moment, but I do have a wish list going!

Stupid kids today and the parents that raised em.
I can't imagine trying to sell anything to them they just go "meh", and back to their phones.
That's whats wrong with Gibson, Fender, Guitar Center, Cakewalk.
 
Look for more "Things that were cool" and the people that sold them to go away.

I wonder if this is a sign that the retail market is dying or that this is an example of a company that collapsed under its own weight.
