I feel like a newbie in a way, but I've been off somewhere who knows , for a long time...so lets call it an update .....I just bought my 2nd Custom this week , an M2M Ebony Custom Shop '68 RI VOS. My first one was a '72 Cherry burst Les Paul Custom ( I paid $25 bucks for it in a trade deal) ,and I don't remember the custom shop existing back then...that guitar is long gone now sadly. Now I'm a builder / Collector (small time) , player...in that order. My first Gibson was...as a teenager, a walnut SG Standard with the Maestro tail piece....and I've loved Gibson my whole adult life. For acoustics., I have an L-00 "Original" 2020 and Gibson always influences my builds in some way or other. Thanks for all the great and interesting information I've gotten here over the years.
