Sorry to necro this thread but it was one of the few places I could find that actually talked about the first Gibson I just bought recently, a 2008 classic antique! This is my first Gibson, having recently started playing, and I kind of lucked into it at my local vintage music store in Brooklyn (Southside Guitars). I loved the feel of it and the flamed top, and everything about it just seemed a perfect fit for me, including the thinned 60s profile neck, the beautiful binding all around it and the weight was under 8 pounds! I picked it up for $1750 and have been thrilled with it. Just sent it into the shop to install some Seymour Duncan Whole Lotta Humbuckers and can't wait to get it back, ready to rock. Thanks for all your knowledge, anyone know how many of these were made? They seem to be almost rare...
