I stumbled upon this accidentally. Check out the last "news item" on the Gibson news page! Quite a pleasant surprise to see someone from home featured on the website. So was this at Swee Lee then?

now, where the fuck is the gibson showroom? how come i've never heard about it? lol. is it new or something?

 

[bin4christ]

the showroom is at swee lee bras basah.. a glass room where hardly anybody is present inside most of the time but still is air-conditioned (is it meant for the guitars or juz in case someone who has proven his wealth wants to go in n see the guitars?)..well, not really a 'gibson showroom'..there are fenders, jacksons, ibanez's, washburns, warwicks, etc n also tt red bass which is taller than some of us here..

 

[Slash04]

^^ That red bass would be Warwick Buzzard... Secks//

 

[Anirudh]

chay...i also thought it was the glass room..ya as bin4christ said..not really a gibson showroom what..go so many other orgasmic guitars there

 

[kerplunk182]

CHEH! the glass room... Wah they never put thirsty hippo in the glass room later too humid then die. But too dry the wood will crack leh. hahaha

 

[Crawldaddy]

Hmm.

haha.. the glass room. aka the goldfish bowl because you can only look in and wonder what's going to happen to its contents.

The day will come people... the day will come when we can finally afford Gibbys and MIA Fenders.

 

[neuro182]

And the day has already come for many of us in our midst..

Kelvin Tan is a good friend of mine!, very humble & friendly guy Anyways that "showroom" really isn't very that impressive with it's small selection range, don't know why SL has to restrict that area, it's not like the instruments are good investments and all.

 

[vernplum]

don't know why SL has to restrict that area, it's not like the instruments are good investments and all.

Use your common sense to work out why they restrict the area. Whether the instruments are good investments or not has nothing to do with it.

 

[neuro182]

hopeandanchor: :lol: i agree with vernplum & i tink u r missing the whole point of restricting the area.. imagine a sec sch kid or some punk rocker comes in and want to try the guitar, then somehow (by accident) damage it, do u think it'll be a nice sight to see the poor kid have to call his parents to come down and foot the guitar for him + the guitar might be a JEM/Gibson or whatever & its totally wasted, supposing there is a potential buyer who might wanna come down and purchase it + stock dun come easily & frequently.

that is my 2 cents worth

 

[bouncychu]

so this thingy is the gibson showroom? cool = ) i wont let my guitar go to waste i promise. i love my guitar <333 rukia.
