Fair enough, Axe.

You couldn't have chosen a better day than this sunny April afternoon to make the decision.
Gibsons are really awful, especially all those 68RI's made in 2011.

Have your burnt yours too?

All my Gibsons are piled in the front awaiting Mr. Dumpster in the morning. Going strictly with Fender MIM's from here forward.

Re: It's sad but true. I'm done.
My local Sunday paper had the headline "Guitars for Guns"...

the story went on to say that if you turn in any Gibson guitar with Rosewood to the Feds, they will give you a firearm. No Id required, and no background check will be done.

Apparently they really want that Illegal Rosewood off the streets, pronto!

Don't want it getting into the wrong hands....

I'm really just done with historics too. I'm selling my R9 and getting an Epiphone. I can barely tell the difference anyway.

Re: It's sad but true. I'm done.
So there's these places called stores and online auctions where you can buy things that are not new! (whataya know!) So if you're not satisfied with new items, you can buy older ones that you think were better for a cheap price... AMAZING
