Gibson Guitar Prepares To Take Second Life By A Storm

Ever the pioneers, Nashville’s very own Gibson Guitar has bought an island in Second Life where everyone can go try out their guitars for free. Virtually, anyway. If that isn’t enough to tempt you, they’ll also be holding concerts by real celebrities like Fleetwood Mac’s Bob Welch–actually, his avatar Bob Welch Magic–who will play at the launch party on Wednesday at 8pm CST.

    [...] Let this be a lesson to all the musicians among us. Von Johin is just a regular guy from Nashville who likes to sing the blues. He’s toured the country a bit, but recently found his biggest success in an unexpected place: Second Life. Recording studio owner by day and Second Life blues star by night, Johin just became the first person to snag a real-life recording contract through Second Life.
