My heart went out to the people of Tennessee in early May 2010, who had experienced a torrent of rain and floods for two straight days, driving people out of their homes, drowning landmarks and causing millions of dollars of damage in its wake. As a music lover, my heart sank even furthur to hear that the
Grand Ole Opry House, the
Schermerhorn Symphony Center and the
Gibson Guitar USA factory in Nashville had suffered some terrible damage, as well.
But, as
Bryan Wawzeneck, international editor for Gibson Lifestyle blog, had said, "
Sometimes great beauty can be found in the strangest of places and under the most horrible of circumstances."

The Gibson USA factory, located in Nashville, Tennessee, the plant which crafts the esteemed and highly reputed Les Paul and SG guitar models, was ravaged by flood waters, leaving many guitars still left to be finished unsalvageable.
