Very floyd-y. I'm surprised that none of the reviewers picked up on that.
Is that an Ibanez EX365 in the photo?

I read that somewhere too.
There was a local concrete contractor that did the same thing. He bought a completing company, took all the cement trucks to his place and parked them. They've been sitting there idle for close to 20 years now.
It's a huge use of capital to purchase a company. Squandering the resources after spending all that money is something I can't wrap my head around. Not as a (usually) financially conservative individual nor as a business man who has worked on business acquisitions.
It can make sense to buy competitors in industries that require huge capital outlays (and lead times) to enter, but buying substitute technologies is just goofy.

Their target market is aging. New musicians are opting for electronic music - their Gibson is a laptop. Electric guitar sales are soft globally and there are more competitors than ever before.
Here are a couple of great pieces about this:

It turns out the CEO may also be an insufferable jerk. Here's a story for your consideration: http://gawker.com/gibson-guitar-ceo-get … 1661598680

Several questions since I'm a Chordiestock neophyte:
- Is there a rookie tradition? Will I need to eat the raw heart of a recently-harvested deer, catch a shark with my bare hands, or arrive in an outfit made only of silly string?
- Other than guitars (acoustic only, per Jeff's instructions) should I bring other noisemakers? Aux percussion, spare trombone, etc?

Cheers Baldguitardude no I don't mind at all. I don't feel I do it justice and would love to hear your recording. Thank you for asking.
Thanks man. I have been messing with this song all night. It's really fun. Here's how I'm feeling it. What do you think?

This is a great tune. Just played it through; your track was super helpful in figuring out melody and chord placement.
Do you mind if I take a crack at recording it?

I play too hard and have way too much tension all over my body.
I pinkie anchor on my pick hand.
I also hold my breath while playing when I get really excited. Terrible for my phrasing.
