Gibson review policy

[Chris P.]

Today I called Gibson Europe to send me a Epiphone T-bird Pro for a two page review in our magazine, plus a background page. So three pages of free publicity.

They guy on the phone told me the don't have marketing people anymore because of the credit crunch and they can't send me a bass cos that's to expensive (like 20 dollars for three pages of free publicity in the only Dutch bass magazine). I offered to pick up a bass. That wasn't possible either.

My colleague asked the same last week for a Gibson SG Zoot Suit. Same story.

The guy asked me to call back within some months. I answered I would do that if Gibson still excisted then...

That is bad

Sounds like the hits are getting closer. As a company you can't afford that sort of speculation and bad image for long.
