Gibson Deleted YouTube Videos. Mark Agnesi Fired?

[Droog]

In what seems yet another recent attempt for Gibson to re invent itself and accidentally pissing off its potential customer base, they've removed all the videos from their Youtube channel and many people are whispering Mark Agnesi has been let go.

I'm not an insider and the Agnesi stories might be just internet rubbish, but it seems this is the latest blunder after how they threw Mark under the bus with the buy authentic crap, posting videos of them bulldozing perfectly good guitars, and suing other manufacturers countless times over nonsense and non issues.

Oh boy!

I honestly hope not.

They f'd up, but if they let Mark do his thing, it would be very positive IMHO.

He is still on IG and still listed as "Mark Agnesi is the Director of Brand Experience for Gibson Guitars."

I never knew who he was in the first place.

I never bothered to Google, figuring someone here would explain who he was. I never saw it. Is he in a band or something?

He did Norman's Guitar of the Day for several years, with a huge subscriber base and following.

It really is just amazing.

Next you will be asking who Mike Lemmo is.

Well, they aren't as well known as Romro, so there is that...

I said in another thread that Gibson sales were bad (not an opinion, from guitar store owners) so I wouldn't be surprised if they are starting over agajn and trying to improve their joke of a public image.

Back in 2001 I remember seeing Signature guitars for the first time. The Gary Moore LP and Angus SG were cool guitars and affordable. I read a Dickey Betts signature was on the horizon. I sold some stuff and waited patiently. When it came out.......$5500!!! I checked one out at Mandolin brothers in NYC. It was a cool 58 Gold Top with a Murphy finish.

That's when it clicked for me what a rip off these guitars and companies are.

No thanks.

What I really want is a robotic guitar that tunes itself and...in a perfect world...plays itself.

 

[mdubya]

Well, I am hoping to grab a TV Yellow Special and maybe a 50's Standard Goldtop with P-90's too. I am here to help. 25% off (at least) will lure me in.

Do you perhaps fancy crappy sounding onboard digital effects?

 

[Marshall & Moonshine]

If I played a lot of open tunings, I’d install those tuners on my LP.

I wouldn’t think twice about it.

Is there any other kind of effect?

I kept mine in open G before I sold it

I would also be interested in some life style togs...and some archaic, undistinguished consumer electronics.
