My friend and I were extras in this commercial and I think I can be seen stood next to the Elephant after the Empress pulls the knife but am not entirely sure. If anyone knows how I can pause it to be sure, I would be EXTREMELY grateful if you could let me know.

With many thanks and best wishes

Andrew

I'd thought I'd never see an advertising for an icon like the Gibson Les Paul. Hey Gibson, make them more affordable and set 'em up right out of the factory and maybe people will start buying more of them. The last Gibson I bought was an SG Faded. Nice guitar, really but needed the 13th fret repaired (hanging about 1/16th inch over the fretboard) and it came set up out of the box with action like a slide guitar. You know what Guitar Center told me? "Well, it's a $650.00 Gibson, what do you expect?"</p> Do I sense some desperation from Gibson Guitars, or is it just me?
