They could have quietly put them in a trash compactor, rather than make a youtube video. They could have hired some electronic's students to disassemble the guitars and part them out on ebay too.

+1 on this. Making a big deal about this serves no purpose.

It certainly can't make guitars cheaper. Lost wages and resources will be tacked onto the cost of new guitars.

I had a similar reaction to a story on our local news when someone walked by the metal salvage yard and snapped a photo of a huge pile of those turquoise colored "rental" bikes. They interviewed a spokesperson for the local folks who handle the rental business and they explained that they pull them and recycle the materials after a year and a half.
These sit around most of the city and very rarely get used except on campus locations so I suspect there's a much deeper story involved. A huge tax write-off perhaps? Seeing a couple hundred like new bikes and then seeing that row of Gibsons elicited the same feeling from me. I do understand why Gibson wouldn't want them released to the public, but letting someone see or film that is pretty irresponsible. They haven't found Jimmy Hoffa yet; it seems like they could have "eliminated" the Firebirds in a similar fashion. |

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the vid was made and released by a disgruntled now ex-employee of Gibson...
