do it.... now they'll have a new customer... they are still down the
original that would buy them regularly... it's simple really... irrelevant,
but simple... very much like the Invisibrarian.

Well, actually it would only be proof that it's hurting sales when it was
compared to the increase in sales from other race related exposure. Who
knows - sales may be up...

that is very true... but in the large picture, companies that lose

customers and don't care about it, usually end up in trouble.... isn't that
what happened to domestic auto producers?

. He laughs all the way to the bank because his little paint and polish
job does NOTHING to add real value to the guitar. It doesn't change the
tone, it doesn't make it play better.

exactly, that's why autographed instruments by the "greats" are worth no
more than the run of the mill instruments....

Before I feel too bad for them, I want to know if Gibson

and if Bass GIVES his time for the design..
Have they all refused to sell him two more?

The Gibson folks don't get an ounce of sympathy from me. Les Pauls are just
a production run and even Gibson Custom Shop stuff is mostly just production
options. There's not much craftsmanship in turning out your basic Les Paul
anymore.

Sponsors sponsor drivers in order to sell products.

Sometimes. *Sometimes they just want their name in front of the media.

When that driver starts to turn away buyers sponsors will fire them
quickly.

Are you really too stupid to figure this out?

Do you really think sponsors only care about willing like you do?

How much damage is KyBu done to M&M sales? *Where's the link to prove
he's hurting M&Ms. *Do you think your personal boycott will make ANY
difference?

may not make a difference in the big picture, but it is proof that he is
hurting sales.... a sale is a sale, whether approved by you or not...<G

Well hell. I'll go buy some M&M's today just to offset Dave's boycott.

You're gonna have to buy _lots_ of them!

Maybe Busch is a fan of The Who. He even looks like a young Pete
Townshend sort of. Maybe it's just the big nose. I thought he did a
pretty good job on that guitar

Bass was probably still in shock after the incident.

Kyle said on Sunday that there was no controversy and that the designer
was cool with it. I didn't believe it then. I guess Kyle's pea sized
brain couldn't understand why someone who labored for hours on something
could be upset that he destroyed it in seconds. It wasn't like he was
destroying a race car, this was art.

To get a peek into that pea sized brain, he justified his action by
saying that he'll just order a couple of more. He trivialized the
guitar even more. What an ass.

It's a trophy you moron. They are considered "special". Do you not
understand the concept?

You can't possible be married or have kids or ever owned anything of
value and no way you ever built anything with your own hands.

Talk about absolutely not having the vaguest clue.

Sheesh!

I'm married, kids completed college. College: Something you obviously
know nothing about.

I agree completely with you. You have absolutely NO clue.
