I gave my M2M order to The Music Zoo on Long Island early last month. They then sent my specs over to the Gibson CS. I followed up with The Music Zoo earlier this month. They told me that they haven't heard back from the CS yet. My M2M order is merely a LP Custom Axcess with a metallic purple finish. And, after over a month, the CS has yet to reply back to my dealer. What gives?

The Music Zoo on Long Island is still closed to the public due to COVID, if you could believe that. And I live in NJ. I called someone at the MZ, and they told me that I could email them my M2M custom order. But I don't really know if emailing my credit card info is all that safe. Yeah, the sales associate at the Gibson Garage never returned my emails and voicemails. I can call the MZ again. But, like I said, I don't really know if email is the best and only way to put in a M2M order.

Hey everyone. I'm completely new to the Gibson Custom Shop. I'm interested in placing my very first M2M custom order via the Custom Shop service. So I was hoping if I could get some advice from any experts here who've had experience with the CS. I've been in contact with two dealers: The Music Zoo on Long Island, and the Gibson Garage in Nashville. I called someone over at The Music Zoo, but they aren't allowing any visitors inside the store. I visited the Gibson Garage over the Memorial Day weekend, and one of the sales associates there give me his business card. How do I go about submitting my custom order? The Gibson Garage has yet to respond to my emails. Can you guys tell me what I need to do in order to send in my M2M custom order to the CS?

I meant being mainstream, like Coldplay at least. The last time I checked she was touring with Alice Cooper and Richie Sambora.

Are you guys surprised that this Orianthi didn't became popular at all? I mean, she's a super-talented guitarist.

Could I play a Les Paul Axcess Standard to precisely nail U2 songs? Like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwkcMDHAgQ8

How is the Les Paul Axcess sound different from a regular Les Paul sound? Is the Les Paul Axcess used solely for heavy metal music?

Thanks for all your opinions, guys. Right now, I have one thoughtful question. Does the Les Paul Axcess sound exactly like a regular Les Paul?

So are you suggesting that the Les Paul Axcess in the pictures in my OP is the Original Les Paul Axcess dating from 2008 or so? If so, do you think it has the Iced Tea Burst finish?

According to the links posted by pauloqs above, Gibson Custom released the "Modern" lineup back in 2017. But I don't know if there had been any "Modern" models introduced before that time.

Would you agree then that Orianthi's Axcess in those pictures is an original Axcess from the late 2000's, and not one from the "Modern" collection?

OP here. Thanks GibSinCity and pauloqs for that explanation of the "Modern" models. I did some further research on the Les Paul Axcess Standard. As such, I don't believe that Orianthi's Les Paul in those pics is a Modern Axcess Standard with Floyd Rose. Remember that those pics were taken ten years ago. I don't think the Modern lineup existed back then. Plus, based on those pics, her LP appears to be of an Iced Tea Burst finish. That finish isn't available for the Modern collection. What do you guys think?

Thanks capmaster. That was a lot of helpful information there.👍 But I'm curious about one minor aspect. Is there such a thing as a Modern Les Paul Axcess Standard with Floyd Rose? Here's an example: https://reverb.com/au/item/14165530-gibson-modern-les-paul-axcess-standard-bourbon-burst-chrome-floyd-rose That Reverb listing is referring to this particular LP as a "Modern" Axcess Standard. I don't know whether or not that seller had made an error. Is there such a thing as "Modern"?

Hey ya’ll. I need a lot of input from all you Les Paul experts here. I discovered over a dozen pics of MJ’s former guitarist, Orianthi, performing during halftime at a Miami Dolphins home game from a decade ago. In these pics, she’s playing what looks to be a Gibson Les Paul with a Floyd Rose system. Check it out: What model is that LP? I’m inclined to think that it’s a Gibson Modern Les Paul Axcess Standard. But I’m not entirely sure. Could it be a Custom Shop version? Could it be the Alex Lifeson signature? Could it be the Dave Amato signature? Does anyone have a clue? Thanks guys.
