Does anyone have any contacts with Gibson Marketing or Management? Since this is the 10 year anniversary of the Custom Shop would'nt it be nice if there was some sort of celebration / homecoming of sorts for all interested historic owners? Anyone interested in the idea of a weekend deal in Nashville to visit the CS for tours and have a "Historic Series Show"?
Gibson puts on some great showcases at the summer NAMM show for NAMM members only, how about something for the loyal historic owners that have contributed greatly to the company's success. Anyone interested?

good luck getting a group through the Custom Shop, they don't normally do that due to liability issues

yeah, I can see us on tour. hey, that jack plate doesn't look right. Are you sure you're putting that truss rod cover on correctly? Teaburst, you call that a teaburst?

hey, how come they chased us out with cold chisels?:lolspin

If you enroll in Custom Direct then you can visit the Custom Shop once a year during the Fantasy Camp which precedes summer NAMM. It will cost you to join. :)

yeah, i'm so mad though, looks like I'll have to miss it this year. My church mission trip is the same week and I have a feeling that's for the better good, never fun to miss the custom shop though...
