Ep. 139 - It's A Heat Clock!
Ernie Ball VP Jr. (stab: Chicka-wahh)
\n- \n
- I asked them when this sucker would be out and they said winter 2019. \n
- Gibson\u2019s \u201cPlay Authentic\u201d marketing results in them suing Dean (stab: Bogner Wessex)\n
- \n
- Basically making an example of them \n
- Gibson posted this video, which they later removed. Isn\u2019t Mark Agnesi just the worst? \n
- They\u2019re claiming that any copy of one of their design styles or trademarks is \u201ca counterfeit gibson guitar\u201d. Which I guess they\u2019re saying is what Dean is doing? \n
- \u201cTo the manufactureres out there, we want you to know that you\u2019ve been warned.\u201d \n
- \u201cThis isn\u2019t about us trying to be bullies, or trying to stifle the boutique marketplace. This is about protecting our legacy\u201d, except you\u2019re also being bullies! \n
- Watch out, literally everyone else. \n
- They added a counterfeit submission form to their website so you can blow the whistle on anyone you think is infringing on Gibson\u2019s trademarks\u2026 So, since they\u2019re going after Dean, I guess this means anyone is eligible. \n
\n - New Music from Two Cheers: Future Constellations \n
- Fender Vintera Series (stab: WA Mayflower)\n
- \n
- Overhauling the MIM line! All floating around $900-1000 bucks. GREAT. \n
- Big era years: 50\u2019s, 60\u2019s, 70\u2019s, each available with a \u201cVintage\u201d or \u201cmodified\u201d option\n
- \n
- Vintage is pretty close to period correct, Modified is more like \u201cinspired by\u201d but with modern appointments (flatter radius, S1 switching, etc) \n
\n - Some highlights: \n
- \n
- 60\u2019s tele with a Bigsby \n
- 60\u2019s Jazzmatser with matching headstock \n
- 60\u2019s Jaguar HH \n
- Really rad new colors on a bunch of these: white blonde, natural, sienna sunburst, Firemist gold on a jazz bass looks HOT. \n
