Was doing some personal research into ghost-building of guitars...and happened on Ed Roman's site.
Had never seen his site before....man, what a trip.
Notable is the Explorer-type guitar page...
http://www.edroman.com/guitars/gibson/explorer_shaped_guitars.htm
His V-shaped guitar page:

Wow...he hates Les Pauls! HATER! HATER! :lmao:

What brought this about was that Gibson is hiring again. Well, they never STOPPED hiring.
As usual, there are numerous vacancies in upper management. They seem to have had an opening for a Chief Operations Officer every time I have looked at their website....for the past 10 FUCKING YEARS....
The ad I found on craigslist is for your standard production workers....sanders, finishers, neck installers, final testers, etc.
It pisses me off that I cannot apply to work there. I mean, sure....I COULD....but who wants to work at a company rated as the Worst Company To Work for by IT'S OWN EMPLOYEES??????
Fucking sucks. I would love to work at Gibson. But I would never even apply as long as Henry The Asshole is running the kamp.....I am not interested in being a slave....even if it is producing my favorite guitars.....
Here is the ad....it is the Gibson Custom shop hiring. With all the listings....it makes me wonder if perhaps the entire fucking Custom shop didn't quit all at once....
