!!!No Gibson Warranty in Canada!!!
lo-fi
I just got off the phone with someone at Gibson USofA. I was inquiring
why I didn't receive a warranty card with my guitar. He said "Keep
your receipt, and that'll do". I mentioned I was in Canada, and he
told me there is NO warranty on Gibson guitars sold in Canada! I
presume this also means anywhere else in the world that ain't Slick
Willie's stomping ground as well. Fucking unbelieveable.

Check with your dealer. Gibson (and other US manufacturers as well) may
not offer the warranty protection, but the dealer will.
On the surface it looks like the manufacturer is reneging on their
product warranty, but in reality, they are trying to offer better (ie
local) warranty service. Check with Steve's Music in Toronto, Ontario,
or Murch Music in Cambridge, Ontario. They might have more info.
S.J. Friedman
Most manufacturers honor a warranty only in the country of sale. If
you buy a Sony camcorder here in the USA and take it home to Canada,
you still have a warranty, but only here in the US. Most, if not all
consumer electronics warranties work this way.
You have a couple of choices: buy Canadian and support your local
dealer, or buy here and return here for warranty work.
What were your other choices? (not that this would change your
warranty problem)

How do the other companies handle out of the country warranties?
In other words, is it just gibson, or is there a policy about
warranties that all companies use for out of the country sales.
I don't know... I just think you should look into it a bit deeper
before freaking out.
also.. did you take the guys advice... call your dealer and see what
he says about warranty?
Did you ask the guy you bought it from why there was no warranty card?
details details details.. *G*

Yes, but I didn't buy the guitar in the US: I bought it in Canada,
from a highly reputable (and authorized Gibson) dealer.

Sorry, I dont run away, when commies and socialists are around. I'll be

be alot smaller. It seems to me that whenever I listen to music, there is

all the people in canada made their decisions about what kind of

Harsh and unfair conditions in canada... you mean conditions that make
a right winger from the US mad ..not harsh and unfair.

Ha! drunk people can't wipe anyway, so what would be the point?
I wish that somehow this explained all the drunk republicans.
come to think of it.. the biggest commie hater of all time
a certain Senator McCarthy
died being treated for alcoholism as I recall.
I'm not standing up for communism.. of course.. but I question
seriously the logic stated above.
maybe the drinking age is lower because they voted for it in canada?
Unless people are drunk all the time.. how is it that they are
manipulated? did they vote drunk?
Was it the Chivas Regal ticket that fooled them or what?
How dare you condemn an entire nation on such flimsy insulting and
outright goofy ways?
I guess all the countries that aren't American are commie,huh.
How many countries have a lower drinking age?
Are they all drunk, too?
come on you can do better than this alex.

Jerry Springer
What could we add? How about Paul Reed Smith? Yes!
Jeff with Paul talking about lefty PRS guitars on the Jerry Springer
show. I'm sure that would be a show to remember. That would make a
Springer vintage show. I think Jeff could be obscene enough (even by

Don't be so sensitive. I didn't tell you to run away. But where are
the commies and socialists in this newsgroup? Furthermore, what do our
barking seals in Ottawa, who are too incompetent to even be socialist,
have to do with the fact that my goddamn guitar does not have a
warranty???

It would also comsume less bandwdth. And there would be less shit to

What are you listening to? I myself stay away from "finger-pointin'
songs" as Dylan called them. You can't rock & roll and protest at the
same time. That's like fucking and doing your homework simultaneously.
It's no fun and neither gets done properly.

It's my understanding that companies are legally required to privide
at least some form of warranty in Canada, but I could very well be
wrong. One way or another, a Gibson authorized reseller selling their
guitars in this country that didn't honour warranties would probably
find themselves in a great deal of trouble, if not from the law then
financially. I wouldn't buy a guitar without a warranty, that's for
sure.
If I were you I would check with whoever sold me the guitar. If they
sold you a guitar without a warranty, they are also responsible.
I would also speak to someone else at Gibson. This would ruin their
business in Canada, so something tells me the guy on the phone either
didn't have a clue, or didn't give you the whole story.

Patrick f. coleman
since this thread came back to the topic of guitar.. I'd just like to
add that the best conservative folksinger guitarist I ever saw..in my
whole life..
he had the chops.. he had the honesty...he had the voice..he had that
special integrity that only conservatives can appreciate and
understand.. a way with the people.. the truth! and more..
who was this incredible dynamo. this man of the hour, this american
genius..
why.. none other than Bob Roberts from the movie of the same name.
all kidding aside.. If you haven't seen this.. even if you're a
conservative.. rent the video.. the dylan take-offs are hilarious..
the lyrics are funny... and it's quite thought provoking if you can
overcome your instinct to hunt down commies for a minute or two.

Actually, in case you weren't aware of it, Canada is part of America
(but not part of the United States of America). And there's plenty of
booze and drugs... depending on the province you live in. Would you
believe that Ontario does not sell booze on new year day?
But back to guitar, would you consider Oprah instead of Springer for
the Vineburg/PRS faceoff?

Not unless I'd slept with PRS in return for the lefty Dragon and

What's wrong with communist and socialist ideas )other than they are no
conducive to a functioning global and local economy)??? IM(NS)HO, this type
of system is by far prefferable to a right wing fascist government. I
disagree with the ideas and the implementation for the basic reason that they
do not work (hey, greed is part of human nature and greed doesn't fit into
the commsoc system) BTW, the USA has a LOT of censorship, being a HEAVILY
Puritan (read 'outdated and backward') country in terms of social systems.
Any european country has lower teen birth, teen violence (and any other
violence for that matter), all while having more sex and the same amount of
violence (well, at least in what concerns TV shows, as they are all American
anyhow.) America is one of the harshest raters of movies in the 'Western'
world today. All the crap you people rate R is rated PG_12_ here, including
flicks like 'Showgirls.' NO ONE has problems with it.
Back to communsism and socialism: the system don't work, and in fact is
hardly used anywhere. France (where I live, so I know more than you if you
start responding) has a socialist governemnt that is being a pain in the ass,
and there is less cencorship here, and the ECONOMIC system is still
capitalist, just like the USA. The socialist bit is more cultural, although
they are getting really annoying with their 35 hour workweek impossible
bullshit plan. (Create jobs by cutting workm time and increasing wages.
HA!!!!)
Well, enough US Right-Wing Loser bashing for now.
Mattia Valente, Bi-national european city, English being his 2rd language (of

sucks, IMHO)
These are just my opinions, so flame away, and enjoy!!!

Btw, these comparisons are usually totally bogus. The US usually has
much stricter guidelines to what constitutes a drug problem or a drinking
problem than other industrial countries. So it's really an apples-to-
oranges comparison. My guess is that if your country were held to the
same standards as people are measure by here, that you'd appear to have many
more drinking and drug related problems.

Amos Garrett. He plays some sort of archtops. Nobody like him

then with Maria Muldaur. His work on her masterpiece 'Waitress in the Donut

His solo work that I've heard is, um, deficient.

Hey, no matter what anyone might think of him, and I know he's got kind of a
"love him or hate him" rep, he's Canadian. So's Joni Mitchell, also in the
love-or-hate category. Not a technical guitarist but man are those some
wierd tunings! (See www.jonimitchell.com for a list of a bunch--they're not
standard open tunings by any stretch.) On a more technical note, Rik Emmett
formerly of Triumph is Canadian, too.

A few more lesser known Canadians.
Jesse Cook, Oscar Lopez - Both (imho) virtuoso's,
and both into kind of Jazz/Latin fusion. Worth a listen.
In the folk tradition, Stan Rogers is right up there.
If you're not familiar with his stuff and you like folk,
he's a must hear (again, imho). Really sad he bit it in
a plane crash :( . (Like so many other greats).
Also in the folk tradition, Fred J. Eaglesmith. He's been
compared to Stan Rogers. His material does have some similarities,
but he's not near the musician or singer that Rogers was (imo).
He kinda grows on you, though.

Actually, closer examination of the _Waitress in the Donut Shop_ album shows

Yeah, on his _Third Man In_ (1992) album he's got some three pickup Tele
with no decal on the slightly odd headstock.

Well, if we're just going to list Canadian guitarists, we can add Ed
Bickert, Michael Brook, Sonny Greenwich, Tim Brady, Rene Lussier, Ian
Blurton(Change of Heart), Martin Tielli and Dave Bedini(Rheostatics), Bill
Dillon,
Amos Garret, Jack Semple, Don Harrison(Sons of Freedom), Gaye DeLorme and
Gordon Lightfoot. And thats just a start, as there are lots more
floating around.

I've been an Amos Garrett fan for a long time. I really like his song
selection, sense of humor and tasty musical arrangements. That's why I
really like his Third Man In recording. Even though it may not be his
strongest effort, it is way more enjoyable than a lot of junk out there.
You always get the feeling that the music comes first then the guitar
leads.
Having said all that I would suggest that anyuone interested in Amos
licks pick up the recording I Make My Home in My Shoes. If this one
doesn't do it I don't know what would. He uses about every guitar
technique that he has picked up during his career. It's a solid blues, R
& B thing with a splash of New Orleans. It also has three instrumentals
that are incredible. His most recent Off the Floor Live recording
captures his band on a hot night. Also, if you like these, his earlier
solo effort Amos Behavin' is a quirky joy. I wouldn't be without any of
them. Honest music by a very talented, unselfish guitar player.
He use to play an old Epiphone 335 style guitar but has played a three
pickup tele for years now. I see that most of his recordings are
available at sites like cdnow and cdconnection.
Have some fun and get these recordings.
