But at least history has shown that most of these "innovations" (because lets face it, some weren't ) ultimately succeed or fail based on their own merits. |

We are probably not far from having "robo-chord" devices or "robo-strummer" devices available on the market either (these things probably already exist) but such robotic aids would undermine the very reason I make music. |

I don't. In fact, I feel the opposite. I get the sense they are desperately trying new things just for the sake of trying to find something new. You know, part of Martin's 6-generations of success is relative stability and consistency....slow steady and small changes over time. They don't get drawn away by the lure of something new every year. Gibson management acts like a squirrel with A.D.D.

A lot of us weren't around back then to hear the moaning, not to mention they didn't have the outlet known as the internet. This helped limit the spread of their discontent.

Not being privy to Gibson's management decisions, I can only make an educated guess. But my guess is that Gibson is trying to capture more of the younger market with their recent outings. And trying to get a larger market share of a younger demographic is a very smart business decision. The boomers are currently the primary driver of the market, but they aren't going to be around forever. The question simply is whether Gibson is going about that in the best way. |
