Actually, Henry's learning (Did you see that BS article about him and Gibson in USA Today this week? 'We want to become a lifestyle company, our model is Harley-Davidson...' HaHaHaHa) to do business differently.
He's bought the rights to this thing, will sell it through the Custom and Historic franchisees for 8 grand, make Joe Perry play one at the Super Bowl, then close it like most of his acquisitions. But it will come back as an Epiphone five years from now!
I thought i'd pee myself when I saw new Tobias basses (built at the Baldwin plant in Arkansas!?!?) on the Sweetwater website for 5 grand!
