Sultan_of_Sound Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Very sweet guitar...... and the maple neck looks great! I'm in the market and strongly considering the Classic Custom, but still haven't decided between Antique Natural and Wine Red. They're hard to find right now.... where did you get it?

ChalkieDog Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 If you haven't tried the new custom and your looking to but a custom, this new Classic beats all I ever seen from the factory !! The maple fret board looks like it's got a flamed pattern going across it... not seen that before on these new classic customs.... looks great. You can get them with a Richlite fret board too... which is also ace as I have it on my midtown custom. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeM17 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I just got my wine red classic custom today. What a good looking axe. I got home too late to plug it in. I hope that they really are a limited run. I am not sure if I am believing those words any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that they really are a limited run. I am not sure if I am believing those words any more. From what I've read they're a limited run, doesn't matter really.I bought it cause I liked it & it's a custom gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomV Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Nice looking guitar(s) I bet they play great too.. It´s got me guessing though - and pardon my ignorance: what exactly makes them "Custom" - other than the split-diamond logo and binding ? I believe these are Gibson USA made, right ? I understand the problems Gibson has with ebony for fretboards.. OK, so they can´t use the traditional wood for Customs.. Are these weight relieved (swiss cheese) or chambered?

I understand the problems Gibson has with ebony for fretboards.. OK, so they can´t use the traditional wood for Customs.. Are these weight relieved (swiss cheese) or chambered? Yes Gibson is made in USA,custom mostly has to do with a pair of '57 Classic humbucking pickups. Made with genuine Alnico II magnets and wound with enamel-coated 42-AWG wire just like the hallowed PAF pickups of the late 1950s and early '60s, the '57 Classics. The fret fingerboard is made from Baked Maple, a heat-treated hardwood that offers a clear tone and extreme durability, and inlaid with acrylic block markers, enhanced by a mother of pearl Gibson headstock logo and acrylic split-diamond inlay.The body is solid carved maple top glued to a mahogany body.Custom is mostly the best parts Gibson has to offer on a guitar. Hope this helps 4Hayden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
