Nah... I thought they hit their pinnacle of guitar design when they came out with this: http://www.axebition.com/blog/gibson-m-series-guitarsI think they're just a consumer electronics company now, so it makes sense.
Besides, the last new thing they made came out in 1960.

Not attending NAMM will do nothing to help repair their rapidly tarnishing brand status IMHO.

I don't know, this one was way up on the applause-o-meter...Nah... I thought they hit their pinnacle of guitar design when they came out with this: http://www.axebition.com/blog/gibson-m-series-guitars
It costs lots of $ to set up a booth the size of the ones Gibson has had at NAMM in the past.
Yes - this one was a real winner! I always wondered how they got the trees to grow different color rings - maybe a different food coloring in the irrigation system each year!?I don't know, this one was way up on the applause-o-meter...
Agree. But the cost of NOT being there is even greater. Running a software company, where there are so many trade shows and user conferences each year, we often question the practicality and cost of hosting a booth at all these events. In the long run, we've seen that if you don't have a presence (even if you really don't drum up much new business) the perception is that you're not in the game, you're not active and viable, and somebody else will quickly get the attention.
Agreed. In today's climate, job security is a must.Whatever it means, I wish them luck. Lots of people depend on them for a livelihood so I hope they're good.
