Gibsons are expensive to begin with and i noticed that most of theirs are the custom historic series which are like 2500$ to 4000$____An if they each have like 4 or 5 different ones on tour, thats adds up. So I was wondering do they half some kind of deal with gibson or with their record label? Or are they really that well of where they can own 4 or 5 $3000 doller instruments??____________________________________________________________________ > Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com VISIT HTTTP://MICHAELTHOMASMUSIC.IUMA.COM _______________________________________________________________________ $1 million in prizes! 20 daily instant winners.
