    Has anyone else been following the epic story of TMG guitars over on The Gear Page forum?

    I've been reading this for months now and it keeps getting crazier and crazier. More twists and turns than your average soap opera. Tales of faulty products, unfulfilled orders, lies, deceit and marketing gone wild.

    For those interested it starts here http://www.thegearpage.net/board/sho....php?t=1387224 But be warned, it is days worth of reading in 5 separate threads.

    Totally bonkers hey. I do hope the new CEO turns it around but $3k for a sportscaster? Nah. Side note, as a bit of a gear geek and someone who was a p&w leader at my old church I got to see a lot of the younger guys come through snappping up gear that the droff plugged on hillsong vids. Yeah some of the stuff sounded great but it's a dangerous thing someone representing an idea to impressionable kids who blindly spend a tonne of cash on stuff that they don't need, and worse of all, funds people using God as a marketing tool. I was under the planetshakers school, one guitar, in ears and a pod hd500.

    Personally I was unaware this scene even existed. Last time I was in a church (long time ago) it was all pipe organ, hymns and solemn introspection, now kids are rocking up with 5k+ guitar rigs? What exactly happened that I missed?

    What is marketing?

    "people using God as a marketing tool"

    What is religion?

    Just to clarify, we're talking about paid professional guitarists representing a flawed product from an unethical company to kids who volunteer at church.
    Religion using God as a marketing tool is the whole point of religion. Companies using God as a marketing tool, especially in cases like these, cheap as all hell.

    Even as a devout Atheist, I couldn't agree more.

    There is a reason I 'used to' play in church.

    f***, i skimmed through the whole of the first thread and then found there was another maxed out one. what was the final resolution? did they get their s*** together or what?

    I can't chip in on the expensive rigs at church because I may get fired. Suffice it to say that comparatively the stuff in my classroom isn't in the same league.

    But this is really similar to something that happened in the American audiophile circle a couple of years ago now. Unfortunately at the end of that, people were out thousands of dollars and the guy disappeared.
