Any Gibson Guitar Players On Here?

[KahrMan]

Reviving an old thread.  We have an employee that just hit 25 years with us.  We wanted to get him something he would not buy for himself.  He and my brother have played in bands together off and on for probably 30+ years just as a hobby.

We consulted with Gibson on some technical work years ago.  My brother became friends with a lot of the guys at Gibson in the custom shop.  He got them to help him pick out this gift.  The custom shop puts out very limited runs of some of their classic models.  The employees favorite guitar has always been a classic SG.  So the guys in the custom shop helped my brother pick out this limited reintroduction of a classic red '64 SG Gibson.

Nice guitar. I wish that you would have reached out to me as I probably could have saved you some cheese with her employee discount.

That would have probably saved me a bunch.  Oh well, its only money.

Holy smokes, that's awesome!

20 years with my employer nets you a logo'd soft cooler lunchbox thing. Your boss drops it at your desk when you're on vacation. 6 months after the actual service anniversary.
