Gibson guitar company facing bankruptcy after 116 years: Report
Gibson guitar company is facing bankruptcy, according to a new report from the Dayton Daily News.
The company, which is behind one of the most iconic guitars in music history, the Les Paul, recently saw the departure of its chief financial offer, Bill Lawrence. His leaving is seen as a bad omen for the company “as $375 million in senior secured notes mature and $145 million in bank loans become due, if they aren’t refinanced by July.” Gibson also recently moved out of its Nashville warehouse, which it had called home for over three decades.
