RE: Gibson Echoplex Digital Pro discontinued?

["Andy Ewen" <andy.ewen@btinternet.com>]

All the confusion arises from the closure of Trace Elliot manufacturing in
January. No one at the time had any idea what would happen next and which
products would still be made, if any. We all thought that we'd go our
separate ways and find employment elsewhere, even in un-related industries.
It would seem though, that you can't leave the music industry however hard
you try and we find ourselves all working together again :)
As far as I can tell, information given by all parties has been honest, 
it's
just situations and circumstances that have changed. I couldn't possibly
comment on the speed & accuracy of the Gibson press machine!
Regards,
Andy Ewen
Echoplex Production Manager,
working for Gibson via Trace Elliot via Straightedge.

"Hi-According to Gibson US there will be no more available here in the
US-Alto Music bought the remaining supply-Around 80 units."


Our Gibson rep misinformed us, as well.   As Andy said, there are plenty.
We have a bunch on the shelf at Bananas.
