Roll the cost of the attorneys into the price of the products, boys!

Is that why GM dropped the Pontiac line? You know, because of the Firebird?

By golly, you're right! It's all making sense now.

Actually...even if Gibson were to do this, that would be the least of Ford's problems with lawsuits pertaining to the Explorer. If you remember a good number of years back, those things were rolling over and self-destructing on the highways at an alarming rate. Talk about lawsuits. At the time we re-christened the vehicle the Ford "Exploder."

I thought that was caused by a tire issue

I've never seen rosewood tires on an Explorer.

Gibson's lawyers are really getting out of hand. Here's the Entertainment Weekly article link:
Ha ha, caught one, me LOL

I remember when Gibson actually made amazingly great GA-TARS! The ride of up and down quality has been a real crap-shoot for decades now.
Thanks current leadership, you rock. Drive the brand into the ground even more. Go ahead, waste time and resources on crap like these lawsuits then perhaps as your quality tanks worse than ever, hopefully my collection will go up in value even more.
Sad.
My fav brand since I first started playing in the 1970's. First brand new was my 1977 Explorer followed by a super clean, lovely 1939'ish L50 archtop. Still have both as well as some late 50's early 60's models. All killer axes.
But over the decades I've passed on purchasing far too many after disappointing try out experiences.
Thank god for those that have preserved the great vintage ones.

Ya... May as well sue Sygenta for Explorer Herbicide and Microsoft for Internet Explorer because those two are just as likely to be mistaken for the Gibson version as is the Ford Explorer. They must have something better to do with their time ... like ... concentrate on making instruments?

Uhhh...odd, the word GA-TAR will not show up in my post above? I have to spell it that way to show up.

Sorry boys, “guitar” was my first April Fools prank but it was taking too long for people to notice. I failed to properly erase it. It’s fixed now.

So yesterday (April 3rd) our grandson Ike asked his dad when was April Fool's day and he told him it was 2 days ago. Ike started crying because he missed it so his dad said "April Fools! Its today". LMAO. Sometimes a little lie doesn't hurt.
