Here's your chance

[Dave W]

Job Opening - Product Manager for Gibson Brands

Come on now, who's going to step up and apply? Just think, you could establish a Department of Chrome. 

[Highlander]

Department of Chrome...? sung to the Alice tune Dept of Youth...?

[Pilgrim]

I think Mark should change his band's name to "Department of Chrome".  It would fit.

[OldManC]

All you need to know about why they never get it right these days. Under minimum qualifications:

"Minimum of 5 years of successful product management experience, preferably aligned to retail luxury/lifestyle products."

Who cares if you even like, let alone play or appreciate fine, EXPENSIVE musical instruments.

[TBird1958]

I think the right man for the job is a purple haired Drag Queen. 

[Highlander]

Forward the CV to Henry, right away... no time to waste, your Purpleness...

Department of Chrome? I'd be the Director of f***ing pitch-black Darkness!



Plus the immediate reintroduction of the Continental V in a limited edition of, errrm, one.

[Pilgrim]

And here's how you could tour the US:

Nickel, dammit; NICKELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

We actually saw the plant in Nashville (and the one in Memphis too, it's downtown). Pretty non-descript, in a commercial area with lots of logistics companies, could use some new shine and comparatively small. We saw what must have been the packing station through a window (we were there when it was closed), looked surprisingly mom & pop to me.

My only comparison is the Warwick factory which I saw in the late nineties on a tour and which was much more modern and mechanized. As large or even larger too.

Err... two...? didn't the other one slip through the net, to all intents and purposes...?

None of us qualify.

Notice none of the requirements state any knowledge of the MImindustry, musical instruments or related products is required.

FYI....Any of my friends who have been Gibson Product Managers and left have nothing good to say.

Fender has been local here for quite a while now. Most current or former employees that you speak with have very little positive to say about them. I think a lot of people that love guitars/music go into these places with certain ideas of what it is going to be, and then find out that it is a large corporation run just like other large corporations and the fact that guitars are involved is the only thing that separates this company from one that makes ovens. Both companies are guilty of attempting to attach their brand to a "lifestyle" and sometimes it really shows IMO.

And here my dear friends is one very rare picture of the Total f***ing Darkness prototype, it is a black Gibson Continental V with black hardware of course.

[Highlander]

No, you got that one mixed up with the black-cat-in-the-coal-cellar picture...
