The day was July 30, 2019 - a strange video was uploaded by user BJ's World on Youtube with the title "Gibson Firebird" that showed the destruction of approximately 324 Firebird X Guitars. There were rumors that Gibson recalled all remaining dealer inventory and had tons of these left over that were unsold and this video proves that and shows the new era of Gibson washing their hands of them. Why did this happen now? It is because Gibson was moving factories and clearing out their old Memphis Plant.
