The Gibson Booth at the Musikmesse Trade Show in Frankfurt, Germany (April 6-9), was swamped with visitors checking out all the latest that Gibson has to offer, including the newest instruments and gear from all Gibson divisions plus Epiphone, Slingerland, Tobias, Valley Arts and Gibson Labs. The booth was hosted by product managers, sales and marketing professionals and technicians from various divisions of Gibson who could provide accurate and up-to-the-minute answers on all the new Gibson technology.
