LOSTVENTURE Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I have decided to go for the original. I'm looking for a 54 Black Beauty reissue. The one with the Alnico in the neck position. Are they strictly custom made, and can I get it with the speed frets and ebony fingerboard? Thanks, Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 The '54 BB R-I is made by Gibson's Custom Shop section. They do come with an ebony fretboard but not, to the best of my knowledge, the 'Fretless Wonder' profile frets. The model is not currently listed but you might be able to track one down by scouting around. AFAIK the last time they were available was 2014. P.

LOSTVENTURE Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Thanks for the information. I would love to have one of those, but 7k is probably more than I can justify. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
