It has been around several times. Note that you have linked to part 1 of 3. My recollection is that parts 2 and 3 were on the internet for a while and then disappeared. I think they eventually returned but I seem to recall there were some strong opinions expressed. If you look at YouTube one of the comments states that "...Part 2 because he talks about Gibson CEO Henry Juskewicz and how he was their top luthier, but Henry was paying him a paltry salary. Henry blocked that video from being published..."

yeah, i heard similar from a friend of Ren's who used to own the Folk Shop here in Tucson. He said Gibson basically jobbed him. That is why Ren left. In his opinion of course.

What a golden era for Guild then New Hartford years, Ren leading the charge, No wonder so many laud that brief period in Guild's history.

Just like the candy bar....Oh Henry!

I figured that I wasn't the first to have come across this. Sorry for my redundancy.
