Achtung! Gibson Firebird X Content!!! They finally have them working and WOW are they good.

Apparently part of the issue was warranty support. The gimmicky shit was Win98 based and the new owners must not have wanted to go down that road.
 
what a waste. They could have gutted the crazy electronics and donated them to some schools.
My thoughts as well. There are plenty of public school music programs that would have loved to have had those. Just because you can't sell them to a bunch of cork sniffing geezers doesn't mean they should be destroyed. Anyone know what the backstory is to this? I can't believe it was sanctioned by Gibson.

It was, an it’s going over as well as play authentic. They should abandon the internet.
 
But then they’d have to provide warranty support when all the gimmicky shit on these guitars starts breaking.
I'm sure there are ways around that. There's plenty of NOS stuff out there that doesn't come with a warranty. If Gibson really was behind this, it just adds to their already crappy reputation.
 
Although I found it quite amusing, and the guitars are garbage, I agree it’s a waste. They could have donated them to schools or something like that.

But then again, it’s Gibson after all

I wonder if it has to do with the lithium ion batteries in these things. I remember some notebook companies recalling a shit ton of laptops around the block of time Gibson says these are from.
