No idea. Don't think I've met anyone that's not confused, at least some of the time, by the logic used by Gibson/Epiphone
My guess, though, is that Gibson told them it didn't fit with the direction they wanted the brand to go in......

You and I both. I have no clue why they accepted the change. Other than to add pitchers and decrease the roster of bench players. It totally sucks.I don't particularly like the DH-at all. I always thought that in interleague games(which I'm also not too fond of), they shoulda used NL rules in the AL park and vice/versa to give fans a taste of the difference. But, n-o-o-o. That'd make too much sense.
I also hate the 'designated runner' on 2nd in extra innings.
I vaguely recall that from back in the day.
I’m sorry for you Dave. You will no doubt burn in hell.RIP, but still, Lasorda sucks! Can't blame a life long Giants fan
Question. Why did the Dodgers never consider hiring Dusty Baker as a manager when the Giants did?
We’ll see. There is a lot of instability now. Some tech companies appear to be serious about decreasing their reliance on China. The transition will be slow and calculated.
Tonight(Tuesday)was Community Concert Band concert night. I usually use my Ibanez AGB200>2000 Bassman 25 for concert band as I'm s'posed to be a UB(which I don't play)and the semi-hollow Ibby sounds sorta UB-y. I was gonna take the TBird just for S&G, but I'd done all the rehearsals on the Ibanez, so I stuck with it. Maybe play the 67 next concert. Or not.(there is a bit of a space problem).
On another note(Ebb*), every so often I get a reminder of my place-low-on the totem. Got one of those yesterday(OK, Monday-I see it's Wednesday here in EDT). Not worth elaborating on at this time. Oh, well, LSTYD.
Aside: the expression is "low 'man' on the totem pole", which is redundant. The totem is the pole. Saying "totem pole" is akin to saying ATM machine. The M means machine.
*that's E double flat-in other words D.

I always found the nature documentaries covering reproduction disturbing in their banality. "...here we see the male tsetse fly coupling with the female tsetse fly..."

The object with choosing strings is two-fold; feel/playability (how you as a player respond to the strings physically) and sound (tone, responsiveness, resonance, etc) All flats regardless of gauge will sound like flats - all rounds, like rounds. Where your fingers and ears fit into that scenario is key to achieving your sound. It won't happen overnight - it's a journey experimenting with different strings over time. But if you stay dedicated - you will arrive at the perfect combination after jumping through of all the physical hoops on the route to discovering your 'sound'.

This is the point. Do you (someone) want something that looks like the thing you want but is far cheaper, (and far more cheaply made) or do you want something of good quality for a price that reflects that? "far cheaper" is exactly that - crap. Plus as mentioned, the socio-political side of China is deplorable. Is 'cheap' really acceptable when that is factored in? Not to me it isn't.

WADR... think that prediction has less to do with China than a partisan manipulation of politics before our mid-term elections... frankly it's best not to further extrapolate, unless you want to risk a thread shut-down. Thunderbird!
We got TV in 1956 just in time for the Melbourne Olympics. Black and white only, colour took another 20 years.
Our household TV was a HMV (His Masters Voice) I was quite taken my the logo badge stuck on it. A dog listening intently to the speaker trumpet.
Our family colour TV circa 76 or 77 was a Rank Arena. Not sure if the US got those brands or if they were just aimed at Commonwealth countries.
Great TV, I guess I’ll just have to deal with the US spelling…. Color indeed!
another cool logo though
Ha ! Donny, I wish it were so. I’ve been attracted to those since I was a kid

Show off. Re Baker. Too much baggage from when he played for them. He was a nightmare off the field.
If it only had the "Made In Canada" sticker I'd bid.
