Commemorate the commencement of commemoratives

[Elias Graves]

Or something. To celebrate 20 nonstop years of attempting to recreate the past, Gibson charges even more money. White gloves included. Seriously.

Does that make it a meta-commemorative?

This joke was actually made when reissues first started appearing. It was only a matter of time and I wish I could find the magazine I saw it in the first time, so I could see what year was referenced. 2014 seems reasonable, but it could have been later too.

I recall cracking that joke myself at the time. Lol.

Well, when you're past your prime you need to celebrate what you used to have. Even if it was just a memory of what you have before that.

A commemorative issue of a reissue made at a time when the company is trying to convince people that its new designs are great guitars…

That is so fucking stupid I just don’t know how to respond.

Since 2013. On Gibsons anyway.
