Gibson contest backfires

Now what is self-centered about that?

Oh, Henry....

Perhaps he inspired the name of the candy bar?

All they had to do was call it a "1 in 10 chance to win your purchase".   Just a bunch of negative nonsense from those who say "My Epihipone is 3x better and 4x less" or "Schecter rulz!" folks don't hold much weight.  Yet they look at Gibson stuff all day long....

Exactly right. You would have thought they'd have someone with enough brains to come up with that at least after a couple of days of deep thinking where you took ten seconds.

I posted about the contest on a Dutch guitarist forum. And I also put the link to all the Facebook reactions.

Geetards don't seem to think it is as stupid as we are all convinced it is.
Not many negative comments.
Goes to prove most guitarists are baboons too 

Maybe Dutch geetards don't think so, but that's not so elsewhere. I first saw news of the contest at the MyLesPaul forum and the reaction has been 100% negative.

Yesterday someone started a poll there to find out if any members bought a new LP on the 9th. I just checked -- out of 99 total votes, only three bought a new one, and two of those bought new 2014s, which don't qualify.
