Gibson Pump Polish

What's Hot
RandallFlaggRandallFlagg Frets: 13929
Dear Diedre,

I've been using Gibson Pump Polish since the 80s, it's the guitar polish of choice for the discerning gentleman. Imagine my delight when I saw the Post office van pull up outside and the jolly postman trotted down the drive with a small brown jiffy bag in hand with my latest bottle of polish that I had eagerly ordered. I excitedly opened the jiffy bag but to my horror and disgust, I reeled across the room as my eyes landed on the new label. 

I am outraged and beside myself, how could Gibson do this? The "Worlds Finest Pump Polish for Guitars, Banjos Mandolins" has been in the original orange label since I can remember and they now have the audacity to rock mine and hundreds of thousands of other peoples worlds by changing the label.

I had to phone in sick for work today...too upset.

Old label:



New Label:



Apologies...I have nothing of any real interest in my life worth posting about. I am a loser.

    Damn, I've been had, it's not "authentic", Mark Agnesi will be fuming if I use this to polish my guitar.

    You should be polishing your guitars with your blood and sweat only.  Shame on you.

    Preparing to be outraged in around 2031 when my current bottle runs out.

    He will be worse than that, he will come fuck you up, allegedly.
    We have to be so very careful, what we believe in...

    He can try, I reckon I could take him down, smash him a swipe of my SG, the shithouse

    Perhaps the newer Polish is only suitable for Harley Bentons with upgraded pickups?

     I saw the thread title and thought Mel Gibson had been up to his old tricks but with the Poles.

    I am very disappointed at this. 
    The only easy day, was yesterday...

    The new formula can also be used to polish leather jackets for that authentic shine.

    I actually genuinely really want to buy an HB and upgrade it now.

    I still don't want an R8 though ;)

    well it tastes the same.

    Dunno, haven't tried it yet but I'm assuming so or I really will go on a rampage

    Would you like to make me an offer for my half-full vintage bottle?

  • The only authentic reaction of a true blue Gibsonite. The new bottle probably isnt even 1959 period correct plastic! ;) 
    I sometimes think, therefore I am intermittent

  • Is this going to push up the price of my orange label pump polish? :)

    I'm decanting the new polish into the old bottle, going to put it on eBay for a 500% mark up
