Sell the company as a going concern or work a deal - "take a haircut" - that often involves trading debt for an equity position, usually with management changes. In this case it seems like it was bad judgment on the part of current management that brought Gibson down.<br /><br />The third option is to burn the place down. Sell the inventory. Lay off the employees. Everybody gets a few cents on the dollar and writes off the rest. That does not sound realistic.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-13737455645298413642018-05-01T11:02:21.726-07:002018-05-01T11:02:21.726-07:00.. gave my son 1/2 the dough for his Gibson Les Pa..... gave my son 1/2 the dough for his Gibson Les Paul<br />same as with his Ovation turtleshell accoustic with a pickup & plug<br />but this Christmas I gave everyone important<br />a Gibson thermal undershirt (rage reviews)<br />and my sweet fiancee struts the black or the grey/green<br />yes I gave her both.. logo is down low on the right<br />as fashion wear.. and absolutely slays her music biz associates<br />one of whom is an iconic Canadian musician<br /><br />They gnash their teeth that they have nothing like them<br />but I spotted a basketful at an obscure music shop<br />in November and started buying different sizes<br />Classics now, I suppose.. <br />but in the music biz highly recognized<br /><br />Maybe Martin next year.. who knows..<br />Will have to start sniffing in more obscure guitar shops<br />the salamanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853337802990122289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-15720329709028296392018-05-01T10:01:33.647-07:002018-05-01T10:01:33.647-07:00Willy, it was a brainfart gone horribly wrong by a...<br />Willy, it was a brainfart gone horribly wrong by a CEO who couldn't come up with anything better nor accept inevitable market swings.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-74072449141354343192018-05-01T09:52:34.060-07:002018-05-01T09:52:34.060-07:00WTF are Gibson branded "consumer electronic b...WTF are Gibson branded "consumer electronic brands".
