Joe Bonamassa said in an interview something like:
'No, I won't buy Gibson. What do you think a blues artist like me makes for a living a year? I can't afford it. I do know the people who will buy Gibson and they're great.'
Or similar words.
I read an excerpt from that interview. He said something like he had taken a vow of poverty as a blues artist.
Poor Joe, he can hardly afford even one guitar
https://jbonamassa.com/features/guitar-collection/ Is he right about the new ownership or is he just continuing to promote Gibson and hoping for the best? We'll just have to wait and see.
