  1. Es339. 9 for a 59 neck profile. AVS for antique vintage sunburst. NH1 for bright nickel hardware
  2. I have no idea what you are talking about. I deal mainly with Cutom shop guitars

  3. I need help with decadence registration and nobody help me... can you help me?

  4. Either way, the 339's are made in the same shop, Memphis, as the original run that had the decals.
  5. The 339's are made in Memphis which IS part of the Custom Shop just in a different location. Memphis Custom Shop. The changes you mentioned are mainly because the first run of 500 339's had the decal and the booklet. Over the years as part of cost savings, those things were cut. If you are looking at a 339, it is a Custom Shop build in Memphis. To my knowledge, there has only been one 339 made in Nashville.
  6. You can not go directly to Gibson for an order unless you are a sponsored artist or big name player. I would suggest contacting Music Zoo, Chicago Music or Wildwood (random order not any particular reason) and ask for a Custom order quote. The program is still alive and doing very well. There are really no "run outs' or seconds as everything they make is made to order for a dealer.
  7. Look at the orange label inside the bass side F-hole. I bet it is an ES359 not a 339. CS050323 will "probably" be a 2010 made in Memphis and the 323rd one from that run.
  8. As a "low level staff person" I am telling you this: File a Warranty claim: http://www.gibson.co...t/Warranty.aspx If you cannot complete the claim, contact the dealer that sold the guitar and they can file a claim for you. If you feel that the materials used are defective, please contact customer service and have them transfer you to the legal dept. 1-800-4GIBSON (1-800-444-2766) Make sure you have your bill of sale showing you are the original purchaser of the guitar in question. I will make sure I mention the "defective" material to Henry next time I see him.
  9. I guess we are not going find out what the warranty dealer said.
  10. The majority of purchasers of Gibson Custom Shop guitars prefer as close to vintage materials as possible. Yes Gibson could to use other materials, but have chosen to try to stay true to as close to vintage as possible. What did your selling dealer tell you about a warranty replacement? It sounds more like you came here to start a confrontation rather than gain information.
  11. My "guess" is that Gibson will do nothing about it. They made a guitar to play, not store, and a case to carry it in, not to store it. It is obvious that it was stored for a time in poor temp/humidity conditions. Gibson did not make or suggest those conditions. I am sorry for your loss on such great instruments. Check the warranty card on those instruments from when you purchased them new or ask your dealer about a warranty claim.
  12. You may want to read what Ed King said after playing his chambered reissue: Gibson Classic Interview After several years that reissue guitar still pretty much equals the vintage 59 that he owns.
  13. It is a 2012 model made in Memphis. CS252496 CS=custom shop 2= 2012 ( 5=Memphis ??? might be wrong on that) and 2496=number in production sequence A litlle 339 history: 339 History
  14. In 2006, Guitarsale (Woodwind and Brasswind) commissioned 20 short scale AJ's. 5 Maple, 5 Rosewood, 5 Mahogany and 5 in Koa. I got to pick out of the original 20 when they came in and bought a Koa thanks to the excellent auditioning of them by Barry Clark. Let me tell you there was not a "dog" in the bunch. I find it easier to tell the tone of a guitar when I listen to someone else play it before i pick it up. In 2009 I stupidly sold it but in mid-2011 I found one of the Maple ones in 99.9999% perfect condition and grabbed it. I remember that I had a hard time back in 2006 trying to decide which one to get. We can thank Ren Ferguson at Gibson in Bozeman for these outstanding guitars. BTY the left handed guy that was at Guitarsale was John Boles. John left well before Woodwind and Brasswind closed the showroom. I miss those guys at the South Bend store.
  15. CR9- I was hoping you could take a look at this thread on a CS Florentine and possibly make a comment http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/77711-96-les-paul-custom-shop-florentine/

    Thanks, BigKahune
