To be fair, a lot of people would love to see a reissue of the Mark II C+. That amp is legendary.
But I also have absolute faith in Gibson's ability to screw it up.
Well that news got you out from under your rock
Well I hope PRSh doesn't sell PRS Guitars to Gibson when he turns 75.
It's impressive indeed to witness how badly Gibson has soiled its reputation. Darn near everyone (including me) thinks this is bad for Mesa's future...
I heard @PRSfanboy46 was buying the company when Paul turned 75.
Would go perfect with that Hetfield Signature Uncle Milty Les Paul Custom that they never managed to get made because Gibby's Artist Relations people are just the BEST.They (Mesa) can't build a perfect IIC+. There are components that just aren't manufactured anymore.
It won't stop Gibslum from making the Hetfield Super-Duper R-Signature IIC++ with Authentic Crunch-Berries Cereal Box Appliqué from vintage 1985 boxes unearthed in an ancient tomb. Make N0n-Authentic!
You forgot the Gibson Little Wing !!!How can you say that about Gibson?!
Obviously you have never basked in the glory of
The Firebird X.
The L6S.
The Sonex.
The Marauder.
The Grabber Bass.
The Victory series guitars.
or the Lab Series amplifiers.
(Did I mention the Corvus?)
Look... business is business, and you don't have to be a guitar player to run a big guitar company. You need to be a very astute business leader, who knows how to run a company well, knows how to create profits and put those back into the pockets of employees and shareholders, defer to your managers in their areas of expertise, and don't do dumb sh!t (that's the important part!) When I look at companies that were started by people passionate about their fields - whether guitars, bike builders, or any other similar craft - there is a huge jump from starting a business to running a corporation. And the most successful ones know when to hand over the reigns and put the business side of things into the hands of those who how to do those things. There's a reason Jack Higginbotham runs the operations at PRS Guitars, and not Mr. Smith himself. And that lets Paul do what he does best.That dedicated executive team of which none have a musical background (Levi Strauss ex-President and investment world execs), have no clue what to do with a guitar or amp........yeah, that will turn out JUST FINE !
He should start a new company building amps, named... Randall Oh, wait...I'm more of a Marshall guy, but Mesa has made some killer amps. That said, the "Gibson Brands" track record is... yeah. This does somewhat lessen my chances of buying a (new) Mesa down the road- I have a personal policy of not buying Gibson simply because I dislike their business practices so much.
Guess we should wait a couple of years and see if Randy Smith leaves and starts "Randall Smith Amplification," a la Michael Tobias after Gibson destroyed his brand's reputation.
Hmmmm.... that's the kinda thing that might get a company sued. Just sayin'.You forgot the Gibson Little Wing !!!
Ol' Andy is now a 1/3 owner of Taylor, which is good because he is now losing 1/3 of his own money as he tanks that company with his nefarious acoustic escapades. So I hope PRS has a plan, but not an Andy Powers plan. That said, no one loves baby like momma loves baby. I can't see anyone other than Paul with his passion and his matrix of analytics for the guitar run his company the way he does.
I'm confused...That's NOT a Buick.
Play authentic!Hmmmm.... that's the kinda thing that might get a company sued. Just sayin'.
Meh, it seems Powers creations haven't hurt Taylor's bottom line so far.
I’ve heard a couple with the new bracing and it seemed better in every way. Higher notes definitely ring out and sustain better. Projection was great. Guy I work with got a Koa 12 string with it and that thing sounds glorious!Yeah, not just yet. Give it time. I have been playing close attention as I love my Taylor Guitars. The V brace thing is yet to playout. COVID is hiding what may have been trending more predominately otherwise. I want to see them do good, but time will tell.
