Gibson and Fender are American legends of musical instruments, hope Gibson can get a bit more taste factor in their products again.

Gibson bought them, killed both OMS and the groundbreaking StudioVision DAW, and did nothing with the brand or the market.<br /><br />Really sucked for a lot of us.nulldevicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041490093977223156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913752433926766420.post-44437802207334278462011-12-06T10:03:15.973-08:002011-12-06T10:03:15.973-08:00I agree to a degree ...

A friend recently picked up a Gold Top with P90s (the 60s tribute model) for a song, and it is a really nice player and looks great.<br /><br />I haven't tried the Melody Maker range, SG Specials etc but they offer most of the look and features of the Standards and Customs at 1/4 the cost, and I am very tempted.<br /><br />Having said that, I would dearly like to know what was going through Gibson's head when they came up with the Firebird X. It wouldn't even have been funny as an April Fool's prank.Mountjoynoreply@blogger.com
