I used a folding guitar stand with foam protection on contact points for years without any noticeable harm or damage to five guitars. Those five stands did create a bit of a clutter, so I built a stand similar to CNJs. Last year I decided to go with a cabinet that would provide a more stable environment and better protect the guitars from damage. My guest bedroom became my music room when my husband turned my music/office room to his home office to work from home because of covid. A Murphy bed allowed me to accommodate guests and afford me the music room I needed. I purchased a cabinet from Access N Sight and use one of the folding stands during session breaks. Now my guitars are safe, out of the way when not being played, and environmentally controlled. Not a solution for everyone, but a consideration if you can afford it.

I prefer Pepsi with real sugar. Yes this is STUPID. LOL

Never owned a Gibson acoustic. I had a 1963 SG jr., own a 2011 50th anniversary SG 12, and have a 2021 Les Paul Access Bengal Burst on the way from the Custom Shop. I do own a Martin D12-28 and a D45V. Love them both. Also own a Yairi DY95 of 1974 vintage and an older Yairi 12 string. I like it when I hear a good Gibson acoustic being played. Not sure if it's sound augmentation, but usually not thrilled when I play them. The sound to me is just too heavy. Not Angelic like my Martins.

Wood and coatings will shrink over time. That joint could be perfect and could eventually settle or open. keeping the guitar in a stable environment can help. Humidity and temperature levels are important to all wood articles.

Well I guess I am ignoring my pledge. I'm having the Custom Shop make one for me to my specs. WooHoo!!

What is sad is some people have ordered this guitar expecting the cherry finish as the website shows and are disappointed when it arrives. That really sucks. I guess I won't buy anything I can't look at and play first. The only guitar I ever purchased without seeing and playing first was my 50th Anniversary SG12. No More. Ann

I'm interested in the Les Paul Axcess Custom Bengal Burst but I am seeing it with the Cherry Mahogany back and the Black back. Was there a change in how these guitars are finished? I would love to get one with the Cherry back, neck, and sides like it is shown on the website. Don't really care for the black. Anyone have any insight ? Thanks.

I'm hoping the price will be similar to the other Custom Shop SGs unless they add for being an Anniversary model. I only paid about $1500 for my 50th Anniversary SG12, but that was 10 years ago. I do hope they silkscreen the 60th Anniversary on the headstock. I have to have the Cherry Red. I oggled one back in 1963. My parents popped for the SG Jr back then. Unfortunately I lost it a while back in hard times.

Any new info out there on the 60th Anniversary SGs? I see the cheaper SGs and the 64 SG with the new style vibrola. I'm interested in the 61 with the sideways vibrola, but not the cheaper version. I was under the impression a better Custom Shop version was going to be offered. GuitarsAnn
