Thread to say nice things about Gibson under Henry J.

[Drew224]

I'll never have to worry about being in tune again. Even though I probably won't ever be in tune again.

 

[MooCheng]

Henry has helped me save a whole heap of money by making things I don't really want

 

[Louie]

Nice try, Henry's sock.

 

[lancpudn]

He's single handedly beaten the counterfeiters at their own game by making guitars not even the counterfeiters will copy.

Same. I haven't thought about buying an actual Gibson in quite some time now.

Henry destroyed the brand.

he has made me appreciate my epiphones more than i already did before...

He looks great in a denim jacket.

Wow! I bought Les Pauls in the Norlin era, and never had one that was the equal of ANY of my Historics. I have a Gibson USA Firebird and LOVE it! You couldn't get a lefty Firebird at all, until recently. I had a Gibson USA ES-335, and it was an affordable, top-notch guitar. Before Henry, Gibson was at death's door-step. The quality was not so great, certainly not what it had been in the 1950s and 60s. Henry saved the company, and under his ownership Gibson has prospered, and the quality improved greatly. I HEAR Henry is an egomaniacle prick, but I wouldn't know for sure, because I've never met him. Anyone hear who's raking him over the coals ever actually met the guy?

 

[Meatwad]

He's not a registered sex offender........









.......AFAIK.

 

[doitforvangogh]

At least he brought back the Junior(s).

 

[John]

Henry and his innovations have further compelled me to play and keep PRS guitars.

Thanks, Henry.

 

[Alligatorbling]

I want another tele.... and a 5 string fender bass

 

[Jakeislove]

People keep buying the guitars.

What's there to complain about?

 

[Rich]

He sports a most succulent mustache. Look out, ladies!

 

[Minte]

Custom Shop. They have upped their game and are making some of the best guitars I've ever played.

 

[MikeyTheCat]

He saved Gibson, added new Les Paul models to the line many that I would never want, played with the model names, made the Standard into something else, annoyed me so that I bitched around my wife about it so much she then bought me a PRS, a brand I had no interest in but now appreciate, and I like the Mira so much I don't have GAS much anymore.
Thanks for a great 2014 HJ.

Considering it's been 29 years this year, the good most certainly out weighs the bad. Anyone who suggests otherwise is being immature and ridiculous.

Almost 30 years of amazing guitar models year after year. Sure, some have sucked, but that's the way it goes running a business for three decades. I love 75% of their product line every year for decades.

I've owned over a dozen Gibsons and Epiphone in my 20 years of playing. The oldest was a 1991 335, so all of them have been HJ-era guitars. They all have been fine instruments I have treasured, written many songs on, and brought me joy in times of despair.

 

[Shogun]

Midtown series/custom was an excellent idea, shame they're not really around anymore outside of thomann.

 

[Frogfur]

He's 61, so maybe only 20 more years until Gibson has a new owner.

be careful what you wish for..you might just get it.
