And don't be sneaking any gaffer tape in there if you do!

What's with the ridiculous, Tory Cabinet Minister, wide leg stance in the thumbnail for the vid?

Are those the best two people they could come up with ??
I guess all the English greats were to busy or dead.
Nice to see a few of my Epiphones on display and my latest sparkly electric blue Tommy Thayer Les Paul hanging on the wall.

I might drop in tomorrow. Unless there's a huge queue.

Ha. Didn’t even know this was opening. I played  a lovely but massively overpriced 70s 335 on Denmark st earlier. Not sure I need to add overpriced Murphy lab models into my window shopping as well.

I'll be in the area in a couple of weeks - will probably drop in, if only because it'll be a break from everything else that Mrs TT has planned ...

Hey everyone - Gibson has opened a t-shirt store in central London.

Are they imitating a Flying V?

Did it really delight guitarists everywhere when they opened one in Nashville?

I am unconvinced by that claim.

In Gibson-bashing mode, the quote might have been

delighted guitarists everywhere else when they opened one in Nashville ...

Agnesi wears cheap non authentic jackets too...

I work close by so I'll pop in in a few weeks.

Agnesi has been at the english pies since hes been here.  I'm unsure how i feel about his presenting

Dunno, I wonder if it'll be the sort of place where they watch you like hawks and are reluctant to let you leave without spending a few grand...  I say that without having watched the video.  I'll take a look later.

I got three minutes in and decided I'd had enough.  I was also planning a trip to the Smoke with a couple of mates to visit the GG but now I think we'll skip it and just have lunch

I think I did well, lasting 5 mins... awkward vid of the year or what!

Cringeworthy.

Have they used the Cesar dudes cheesy track
for the backing music in the video?

So looking at this https://www.gibson.com/en-GB/Electric-Guitar/USAQWF23/Vintage-Honey-Burst - I can buy this guitar and get to the check out - So it doesn't appear to offer me any choice as to what the top is and the weight - Will it be set-up and checked my a UK tech before shipping, or is it just a 'regular' factory final check

Based/subject to above, it appears as though the service is below that, that I would expect and receive from say Peach, Anderson's etc etc 

It appears as though they just offer a generic factory pic and all that goes with it - Hoping the brand alone is enough to do the job - For some that maybe the case

And this is the Chibson room...

Almost stopped watching when he said 'London, England' (as opposed to all the other Londons - fecking Americans) but he pulled it out of the fire with his blocking/timing of the intro patter to finish up at the door at the exact correct time, which was actually some good direction and pointed to the video being worth a look.

I'm sure I'd have a nosey if I ever got down to the Smoke, but I don't work there any longer (used to work right around that spot), so I dunno when or if I'll get the opportunity any time soon.
