Gibsgone. Maybe

[Dedman]

I think the name will go on indefinitely, just like the bike names, Norton, Triumph ,Indian, you can buy something with that label on it but it's got nothing to do with the original firm. In fact Gibson is already at that point, the next owners of the names and designs will probably be Asian.

alas that's prob true.. for as long as there are brandnames and other copyrights and trademarks to be bought and sold
