On a cold winter day in Texas, like today, I can only do a mockup of my Flying V. No spraying color when it's this cold. I have the top looking like I want. I just need to tone down the back. The white it way too stark.

This guitar was built for a couple of reasons. One was to bring back a design that hasn't been seen in over 50 years and the second was to be sold and the money donated to Canyon Creek Elementary School.
On 10.28 Gibson guitars launched it's new Firebird. Sadly the guitar is not the story here, but the colossal fail from the CEO Henry Juszkiewicz and the Gibson company. His presentation of the new futuristic instrument was less than impressive. And in this era of instant feedback the people are telling Gibson all about the giant egg they just laid.

And it keeps going. Gibson was one of the first instrument companies to embrace social media, but it's now biting them in the ass. If they really think their new Firebird is that great, they need to stop talking and start playing.
