They're all propably just sitting somewhere vaping and laughing at us

Well they do seem experienced with vaporware.

"Welcome to beginner luthiery, where the guitars aren't real and the customers don't matter."

Now we know the reason for the name change to Abasi *Concepts*.

Bienstock has ties to Ibanez - this could be good fun...

LEAVE TOSIN ALONE

This thread has become better than the official SSO Memes thread in the Off Topic forum.

Man, I take a week off- I leave you guys alone for one week...
The mental image I have associated with this disaster is of a teenager running an unlicensed preschool because she babysat her neighbor's kids one time and that went fine, but now there's screaming children running around the house breaking things and she's got no idea what to do about it to such an extent that she's given up, sat down on the couch, and proceeded to get stoned and watch Divorce Court; tuning out and ignoring the mayhem.

You know, I tried to really examine the whole situation- weigh the perspectives of everyone involved and really try to determine who was in the right at first...but at this point, I don't care anymore. It's literally turned into a TV show as far as I'm concerned.

I'm not a rocket scientist, but logic would indicate that if Tosin is looking for an attorney and "the other side" already has one, then Tosin is the one being sued.

Oh damn the rest of us are stupid, Falbo’s lack of rumour campaign was a good idea as everyone realised, and I don’t want abasi concepts to go under because it’s sad when any small business doesn’t make it (and I want one)

 

[MrWulf]

So how many album Tosin have to record to offset whatever legal cost is going to incur with this?

 

[BIG ND SWEATY]

AAL seems like a pretty good money maker for him along with his other investments so probably not that many.

Who goes on facebook to look for a lawyer? That's like telling the other person they've won before even getting started.

It could have also been a joke… something sarcastic about the situation in which he finds himself.

 

[axxessdenied]

A Joke? Like Abasic Concepts?

I’m 99% sure it’s a joke. From what I can tell, Tosin isn’t such a newb that he’d post that if he really needed one. Plus, after what he was doing with Falbo, it’s clear he already has one. So, it’s got to be an inside joke for those who know him well enough to know exactly what he has going on at the moment.

Yeah but.. why doing so? He already got the attention

 

[BlackMastodon]

Posting inside jokes online is lame as shit. Case in point, don't think anyone here thought it was a joke at first. Also I'm not entirely convinced he's properly lawyered up for The Falbo Debacle (name of his next album?). I dunno anymore, I ate my free hunk of bread and now I wanna see blood!

 

[plainfaced]

OK.. So ive only just read the last page of this thread.. and by the looks of it, I have a lot of catching up to do, with the state of Abasi guitars..

Who can provide me a tl;dr version in two lines? -

All I know is that when Tosin left Ibanez, he created his own guitars with another luthier, and they were shipping ages ago?
