Gibson Set To Emerge From Bankruptcy
And now here’s a 30-minute long guitar solo to celebrate as Gibson is set to emerge from its bankruptcy proceedings six months after filing.
The iconic guitar brand will have a new majority ownership and leadership team in place from global investment company KKR as of November 1st, with James “JC” Curleigh taking over as president and chief executive officer.
In a statement released on their website, Curleigh says he’s a musician and Gibson guitar owner himself and has “the utmost respect for the iconic Gibson brand and those who choose to play Gibson guitars.”
Back in February, it was reported that Gibson was in serious debt after branching out into the world of consumer electronics.
