Interesting clip.
He says a lot of good / the right things, so it will be interesting to see how the product line progresses in the future beyond what we have seen so far for 2019.

I really like where he's taken things already. This guy gets it.

 

[bigboki]

I really like what and especially how, he is saying what he is saying. I hope what he is saying will also materialize

 

[mud_guy]

He"s Canadian, east coaster from Halifax originally. Nice to see a local boy do o.k.

 

[Milkman]

Yeah he speaks really well.


I heard honest passion and excitement in his voice.


And the guitars they showed all looked stellar of course.


I hope they turn it around. I like this guy.

 

[Maxer]

Seems like a grounded guy. That interview leaves me feeling hopeful for Gibson for the first time in several years.

 

[TubeStack]

He’s great! Very happy he’s the new guy in charge.

Many said similar things about Henry when he took over. Talk is cheap and the CEO is only part of the company. Time tells the truth. For the sake of the employees who work there, I hope they do well and keep making those great acoustics.

The CEO heads up the company, provides the leadership. If he's got what it takes and truly impresses consumers of Gibson's venerable brand after several years of missteps, it can't help but filter down. Be positive!

Yes, it is very good to be positive. However, at the same time, we need to be realistic.

What do you mean by realistic?

My good friend, @Hamstrung told me about this yesterday....

Gibson to move guitar production from Memphis to Nashville

Absolutely. This was discussed in one of the videos I watched earlier. Not sure which one though. They're also expanding their shop in Montana for the Acoustic side of things. Looks like they're investing back into the guitar building instead of light bulbs and home stereo systems.

Yes, it is very good to be positive. However, at the same time, we need to be realistic.

The Global market, increasing pressure from Asia, newer players having less loyalty to the "brand" and many other factors are affecting the whole music industry, including Gibson. It appears the CEO that got picked was a good choice but in today's market, nothing is a sure thing. That is why I said in an earlier post that time is what tells the truth. No one has the inside guaranteed scoop on what the future will bring to Gibson and other mfrs. for that matter.

That applies to damn near everything.
You are at a "death and taxes" level with that statement.

yea, the business prowess of capt. Steadly Obvious. he could have been a great man if he didn't melt his brain with LSD

we were due for a Gibson thread taking a fun turn with his involvement, especially around namm. nice, I hope it gets better. someone please keep egging him on

 

[Alex]

Change is good and it seemed that Gibson was due for a change. I’m a fan and wish them the best.

Yes, that is correct. In the global economy of today, things change quickly, like GM and Chrysler going out of business and Gibson brands going bankrupt, although that one we saw coming for a few years.

 

[jb welder]

like GM and Chrysler going out of business

Yeah, I miss having GM and Chrysler around.
I remember back in the day, you used to be able to go down to one of their dealerships and buy a car, or a truck. They even had ads on TV.
