Default Gibson is First Class

Whether you're a fan of Gibson guitars or not, you've got to be a fan of this!


Gibson is donating guitars to musicians who lost instruments in Tennessee tornadoes




Nashville-based guitar maker Gibson wants to help musicians impacted by the deadly tornadoes that struck Middle Tennessee earlier this week.
Gibson Gives, a nonprofit wing of the global guitar brand, plans to donate guitars to players with damaged or destroyed instruments as a result of the early Tuesday storm, a news release said.
Guitarists needing instrument replacement can reach the Gibson Gives Recovery Plan at [email protected].

That's neat.

Wish they had done something like that with the guitars they destroyed via an excavator. Supposedly that was done to take care of some 'accounting issues'. Search You Tube for the video. Here's a link to just one of the videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ft5J1lX4-o

Might be able to buy a few broken cheapee’s off Gumtree..... now to find someone who lives in the area.

All in all a pretty good gesture from Gibson..... perhaps their Australian wing could do the same to Gibson owners here who lost theirs in the recent bushfires
