I heard that Brad Paisley lost a lot of gear-maybe this is his.

his profile suggests he is a guitar tech at guitar center in nashville - i dont know anything more but saw the photos on another forum.   

 i actually quite like the look of the black les pauls water damage - especially the one with the transperformance tuning system

i wonder how many can actually be repaired -  fenders tend to survive a little better as they generally have less joins - its all down to what happens once they have been very slowly dried out

I think I remember reading that Frampton and Paisley are two big names that have lost stuff (you can see a Frampton flightcase on the FB page). The real heart breaker is that there looks like there's vintage stuff that's irreplaceable :/ that gear has been butchered :o

I have just heard that Gibson had a flood too but I have no details of what was involved.

A new range of BDG* Les Pauls?



That photo album is sad to look at, I wonder how much of that is stock and how much is peoples personal gear in for tech work.

Gibson USA factory was flooded, Custom Shop was OK by all accounts.

Brad Paisley and Keith Urban, amongst others, have lost loads of vintage gear as they were in a secure lockup in the area  :(

apparently peter frampton has lost absolutely all his gear too...

i know we have focused on the gear (because thats who we are ;) ) - but i cant believe these floods have been so ignored in the media


on the gibson note - gotta wonder what a large insurance payment will do for their books, but if that doesnt happen it could be the nail in the coffin
