I'm not so sure this thing is going to be the "dud" that most people are predicting. I guess time will tell.
If they'd use some super wide tiger stripe maple veneer on the back, that would make a HUGE difference in my opinion of it.
I think theyre the best band on tv since the G.E. Smith-fronted SNL band.
Not trying to be cynical, but Gibson probably paid Jimmy to play that guitar on national TV. Just like I am sure they pay the Jonas Brothers to use a Dark Fire and other Gibsons.
BTW, as an aside, I own a guitar that Jimmy Vivino used to own. It is a vintage National Triolian from 1930. Used to be owned by John Sabastian of the Lovin' Spoonful. John gave the guitar to Jimmy (they play in a band together on the side). A few years ago, Jimmy was cleaning out his collection and sold several guitars to Rudy's guitar shop in Manhattan. I bought the National from Rudy's. Great guitar!
I highly doubt that they paid him to play it but I would bet that they loaned it to him for personal use. Companies don't really pay anyone anymore but they do supply butt-loads of guitars to artists.
