What did Gibson do with all the bodies and necks they built but were forced to stop production on?

something tells me gibson either gave the the body's and necks the bandsaw love and wrote off the loss, or they are collection dust in a storage shed.

Any chance they were damaged in that nashville flood?

If the government has them as evidence it'll be a while before they see the light of day. Government auction?

I've got it!!! they will probably be sold off as super expensive coffee tables and lamps. with a phsycodelic theme...

Hehehehehe, I remember that fiasco.
That was the craziest thing I have ever read about.

I wonder which Gibson Exec head rolled on that one? :lol:

If ever there was an artist associated with the Stratocaster it was Jimi.

Maybe Gibson let Fender have the parts for a song..... :lol:
Tom

Don't let that smoke out!
