Gretev1 Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 Please share what you want Gibson Custom to offer that they don‘t. Here is my list: - Accurately shaped ES 335/345/355 from 1958 - 1961 along with proper black with gold insert reflector knobs seen on original 1960 ES 355 guitars. The current gold reflector knobs have gold that looks „brushed“ and cheap and not a perfect „mirror“ effect like the ones from the 60‘s. Also Gibson should finally correct the „F“ hole placement. It has never been correct ever since the vintage ES guitars. - 1960 Gibson Les Paul Custom 3 pickup with Bigsby Same complaint; in 1960 Gibson Les Paul Cutoms had beautiful black knobs with gold reflector inlays. Gibson should offer a reissue of this version. 1961 Les Paul Custom/SG Custom with sideways vibrola Cool guitar. Gibson should offer this version along with accurate gold reflector knobs, sideways vibrola and properly placed and shaped pickups. - Finally, I think Gibson should simply copy what the Fender Custom Shop is doing. Offer all the wild specs along with masterbuilders who can get down to the finest minutiae of what the customer wants. Gibsons made to measure program is a joke to the Fender Custom Shop.

Interesting, this picture sure is before 1963, and the the pickguard is similar to the "Batwing" type one...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Les has this look on his face like he's thinking "Man I can't wait until I get out of this contract so they can't put my name on this guitar, and I don't have to play it anymore". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 I'd like to see Custom Shop start making CS336 or CS356 again. I already have mine, but they are just such great guitars I wish more people had access to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Pepper Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 They should only make J-45's in every flavor and do re-issues of re-issues. How about a 2015 re-issue. There almost vintage by now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
