Found this interesting Gibson ad on Youtube. Found the ending @0:39 rather funny...:roflmao: :roflmao:

? great ad....... but it didn't make me want a "robot guitar" so the ad didn't work .

instead i looked at the "F" tattoo on his hand and thought cool ...in fact way cool.....maybe i should get that tattoo somewhere( not on my hand but elsewhere) ....truthfully ..... so it made me think more about Fender than about Gibson ....

and a 2nd thought i had only seconds after seeing it ....was damn do Gibson think their players need "help" in tuning their guitars ...... it's almost insulting to Gibson players ......

so NO the ad made me think of Fender and other thoughts and NOT make me want to rush out and put my name on the waiting list for a "Robot" guitar

so funny ad 10/10 i loved the rip off of the "psycho movie " scene , yes i laughed at the fender tattoo...... however it scored 1/10 in helping sell the product

This just made me think of the good ol' pepsi coke rivalry!

Fender - YOU are our biggest threat and rival!

Yeah, I'm not so sure. I also think this is perhaps a better ad for Fender than for Gibson.

I think competitive advertising is a risky business (and I'm glad it's illegal in South Africa). You can very easily run into territory where you give your competitor better exposure.

bingooooooooo, even if you have a product that has been proven better than your competitors, you can't tell everyone about it.

cool ad..................I liked.

Sure you can. You can say, "Our product has been proven better than all our competitors." They're free to challenge your advert. You're just not allowed to name them.

Yeah I get it those little drops of water hitting the headstock might cause it to snap off
