For all interested the Gibson Custom trailer is coming up from Nashville and will be stocked with all kinds of figured maple, neck blanks, and mahogany backs for customers to pick through and order your custom build this weekend Friday 10/9 and Saturday 10/10 only. I was told this was Tommy's idea, owner of the Zoo to do this and he thought this would be very cool to try it. If this is success and I think it may be I can see other dealers wanting to get in on this and do it. Bring the check book! Oh and if you cant be there in person they will post some tops in real time on the web for you to call in and order your build. Gibson reps will also be on site taking the orders I was told. By appointment ONLY! :salude :3zone

FROM THE MUSIC ZOO SITE:
Gibson Custom Shop will be at The Music Zoo on October 9 & 10, 2015 with the Custom Shop Trailer stocked full of figured maple! This is your chance to come by, dig through the piles, and select just the right piece of wood for your Custom Build. Select flame or quilt for the solid body or archtop of your dreams. Been ready to buy a Les Paul but have not seen just the right top? Now is your chance!
You will need to book an appointment by contacting our sales staff. We want everyone to have the time and space to really select the right wood for their build. Additionally, you’ll meet with Custom Shop insiders who will help in dialing in each and every spec on the guitar. It’s a special event unlike any other we have had. Trust us, it’s fun to dig, select and see the guitar come through as a finished instrument! Email sales@themusiczoo.com now to reserve your time slot, or for more information on the process.
Can’t be in attendance? We’re going to post some of the available wood blanks online on the 9th. They will be available first come first served and we’ll be able to accommodate custom orders over the phone or via email. We’ll update this post with a link to the images at that time and send out an announcement.
