RE: Where to get EDP+?

["Andy Ewen" <andy.ewen@btinternet.com>]

Actually, Gibson lost Trace Elliot in an auction set up by the
liquidators. The brand is now owned by Cliff Cooper of Orange
Amplification. Nice one Cliff! I heard that Henry wasn't too happy about
it.

I heard something that may or may not be true.

That Fender bought out Gibson?  If it's true, this may be holding
things up.
                                                         ??
I also noticed Trace Elliot really died in the ass recently, and Gibson
owns Trace.                                  ???
Who really know's
                                                          ????
