Well I know for sure you can get a “made to measure” Les Paul Axcess. Our member Tman got a beautiful custom built gold LP Axcess and it is just amazingly nice looking 

 

I’m sure they can do the black V but I have heard one customer here who ordered a custom color through the made to measure program and was disappointed that Gibson was unable to exactly match a previous one off color. I think sparkling burgundy is a GM color so probably something they wouldn’t have a problem replicating. Point is that some colors are just a one off and Gibson can’t always replicate those

Nice, thanks for the info.

I’m sure it depends on a case by case basis. As in do they still have templates or an example to build from etc

 

which model are you after? It’d probably be more practical to hold out for a used example

Not rich enough to get them now but hopefully in the future

I think you're referring to that Made To Measure program.

First they measure how thick your wallet is and then they make the guitar just for you.

You go through your local authorized Gibson dealer to do it.

Ok, so it may be expensive but it can be done?

Simple question, I seem to recall someone saying that the custom shop can make a discontinued model for you. Is this true and can they also make limited release custom shop guitars? 

[My first Gibson guitar, a Flying V.]

Hello, new member here.

I like hard rock, metal etc. and thought a flying v with high gain pickups was essential for a guitar collection I'd like to start. 

This is my first of hopefully several gibsons and guitars

Gibson Flying V B-2 in Satin Ebony with Seymour Duncan Dirty Fingers pickups. 

The file size is too big to post here, so here's a link to pictures of the guitar on my Instagram profile.

My first Gibson!
