I'd read your post and had started to post a reference to what you had written but it became convoluted and I removed it. I have no doubt that their custom shop is exceptional but find it a pity that you have to pay $so_much to get the quality that was available by some guy on the floor putting together an SG Special fifty years ago.
Well you can pay 10k+ for an early 60’s SG made by some guy on the floor. Or you can pay 4 grand for a better instrument that was made last year.
In the case of the LP, 300k for an instrument made by some guy on the floor.
Edit: aside from that. I wouldn’t poopoo the quality and craftsmanship that went into Gibson guitars either in the 50-60’s or now in the custom shop. Everyone seems to really love the work from both eras, the prices are worth it to those who are buying.
