Tim Plains Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Admin's gone, I believe. Best thing to do is email that list to Gibson customer support. So you know, I asked them a while ago and they said they did not have an official list of all the changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
