Meanwhile ... Gibson files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection. "As NPR has noted in the past, filing for Chapter 11 protection does not mean that a company is doomed to fail; instead, "it's a way for companies that can't pay their bills to not die." The petition, filed on Tuesday, notes that the company currently has up to $500 million in debt ... https://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2018/05/01/607373593/gibson-guitars-files-for-bankruptcy-protection http://variety.com/2018/biz/news/gibson-iconic-guitar-company-files-for-chapter-11-bankruptcy-protection-1202793510/ https://www.twice.com/industry/gibson-files-for-bankruptcy-protection

Those peek-a-boo tubes look like they want to come out and play at startup, you know, like ...

Pitchfork article https://pitchfork.com/news/high-definition-vinyl-is-happening-possibly-as-early-as-next-year/ The slashdot comments seem to echo your view https://yro.slashdot.org/story/18/04/12/2320221/high-definition-vinyl-is-coming-as-early-as-next-year a couple of choice ones "This scheme is a shoe-in for the 2018 "polished turd of the year" award."
