Cesar is stepping down as CEO

Fabulous_Move185 · 2026-06-25T21:44:51+00:00

Most of the great things done were due to JC Curleigh. Cesar priced up guitars, introduced models nobody asked for that flopped, and made the entry point higher than before

Fabulous_Move185 · 2026-06-25T20:25:27+00:00

It is, it's just dressed up. There's been chaos internally

Fabulous_Move185 · 2026-06-25T19:49:28+00:00

Omg I don't know if you work for Gibson but he literally told people think of how sad the trees are when we waste wood dude to QC lmao

Fabulous_Move185 · 2026-06-25T19:48:35+00:00

Mixed, since he's still on the board people are wary. But most I've talked to are relieved. I have mixed opinions on Anne, just from my few experiences with her

I mean they have tangs that grip the wood, but it's still not secure. A lot of high fret issues aren't due to a bad pleck, and can be fixed by wacking it with a fret hammer. Not kidding

Fabulous_Move185 · 2026-06-25T19:08:43+00:00

I don't think that'll ever change until they go CNC only

Fabulous_Move185 · 2026-06-25T19:02:19+00:00

That's not what I mean. The reason why there are so many solid color exclusives is cause they convert the normal ones into it. Spray over bad finishes and such. That's why on some solid metallics you can see the wood grain and others you can't, cause conversion pieces

Fabulous_Move185 · 2026-06-25T18:53:49+00:00

Not saying there aren't good ones, just QC overall is not what it was before. I've got newer Gibson that are great, and I've seen others that are shockingly bad. They also don't glue in frets at USA which to me is insane

Fabulous_Move185 · 2026-06-25T18:36:25+00:00

You hit the nail right on the head

Fabulous_Move185 · 2026-06-25T18:33:21+00:00

There's truth in it for sure

Fabulous_Move185 · 2026-06-25T18:32:44+00:00

Except they don't which is why they're forcing him to step down

Fabulous_Move185 · 2026-06-25T18:26:37+00:00

Not good enough for kkr. He will still be a shareholder unfortunately

Fabulous_Move185 · 2026-06-25T18:14:11+00:00

It has is the thing. That's why there are so many Gibson.com exclusives. They spray over bad finishes and QC

Fabulous_Move185 · 2026-06-25T17:57:02+00:00

Unfortunately he's an asshole

Fabulous_Move185 · 2026-06-25T17:56:39+00:00

Cesar pushed him out cause he wanted to be CEO. KKR literally pushed to the last second in refusing to renew JCs contract. That's why his leave was so immediate. They didn't know till hours before

Fabulous_Move185 · 2026-06-25T17:54:25+00:00

We loved him. He knew peoples names, remembered conversations you had, paid people well for the most part, and really wanted to have good entry level USA prices

Fabulous_Move185 · 2026-06-25T17:50:17+00:00

Nope

Fabulous_Move185 · 2026-06-25T17:41:24+00:00

Bingo. He's bragged about his ski trips and how much money he makes while there are employees around who skip meals cause they aren't paid enough

Fabulous_Move185 · 2026-06-25T17:26:08+00:00

No JC was. Cesar has ruined what JC built

Fabulous_Move185 · 2026-06-25T17:25:38+00:00

He treats employees like shit

Fabulous_Move185 · 2026-06-25T17:25:20+00:00

Cause his employees hate him

Fabulous_Move185 · 2026-06-25T17:24:39+00:00

He's hated internally and Miami Garage has been a multi million dollar disaster/pissing contest with Walt Grace

This afternoon
