Over the last few years I’ve seen quite a few Gibson custom shop guitars being sold as “Mint, unplayed, unopened, etc.” It seems that a lot of dealers or specific shops have quite a few available at the same time. These guitars are sold without a warranty and come directly from the factory to the shops. A buddy of mine recently purchased an R9 from one of these vendors and got a fantastic deal. The guitar looks fantastic and plays pretty well but it’s not the greatest I’ve played or heard. In fact we have both agreed that something seems off with it. Both of us have started to wonder the origin of these type of guitars. Are they factory seconds, duds, demo guitars, over stock?
