Agreed, this artical needs to be fixed or removed til fixed.---
This article is blatantly NPOV.
From reading the first reference, it is clear that this article says little about Orville Gibson and rather promotes the Gibson Company. Since there is already an article for the Gibson Company, I would like to move any relevent material to the company article and remove it from this article. Then, I would like to expand the biography for Gibson, the person. Thoughts?Mbartruff 20:07, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed material from this page that has to do entirely with the company and will move it there -- then on the way back I'll pick up the material from THAT page that has to do with Gibson the man and bring it here. Accounting4Taste 19:56, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This article states that Orville Gibson himself invented archtop guitars, whereas the article on Lloyd Loar states that Loar invented at least the archtop mandolin, and possibly the archtop guitar: "Loar worked for Gibson from 1919 to 1924. His contributions include building the instrument top with F-shaped holes, like a violin." messor (talk) 21:41, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
