Hi,
About 20 years ago I walked into a used guitar shop in my town (which is long gone now) and saw a 70's LP Custom in alpine white. I was about 18 years old and didn't have the money at the time, and since then I have lusted at this guitar. It was faded into a gorgeous yellow. I'm a big fan of the Edge and I know he uses a mid-70's model, I believe.
A couple of questions:
Is it possible buy this guitar brand new from Gibson? (as far as I know, you can only buy a custom in regular white), would it have to be made to measure?
When did customs start getting maple tops? Would the 70's era (i.e Randy Rhoads) be a 1 piece hog?
Thanks in advance
