At Gibson USA on Massman Drive and Soundcheck Nashville on Cowan St., the damage is enormous. Soundcheck is the biggest enclosed rehearsal studio in the world, and it houses instruments and tour sets. There’ll be no access at waterlogged Soundcheck until at least Thursday, and Gibson was off limits as of Tuesday afternoon.
“Water did get into the factory,” said Gibson USA general manager Gary Fader. “We have not had a chance to go into the building. There will be supply disruption for some amount of time.”
Sad...very sad. The Grand Old Opry is also flooded along with hundreds of residential areas and businesses including major studios. What a mess. I hope and pray that these people have help come to them quickly.Even sadder is the fact that most did not have flood insurance....and without it many businesses and homeowners may not be able to start back up again. Most insurance policies do NOT cover floods. That is something you usually have to purchase seperately.
Soundcheck had over 600 clients; Frampton, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, John Fogerty, Brent Mason, Vince Gill, Jerry McPherson, plus many more that you'd not recognize their names.
Not only were there guitars, for some, their entire road/studio equipment was housed there.

是的,SOUND CHECK是号称世界最大的排练场,很多著名音乐人和乐队都是他们的客户。但是GIBSON的场也是被淹了的哦。
