FightingAgeMale Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
