generally tho i think all gibson products are "mass produced", least to my knowledge, they dont really market their custom shops as "boutiques". i find that Gibsons tend to be rather odd in their custom shops, leaving to oddities like the LP Classic and its confusion.
regarding the SG what i do know is that i tend to take such claims with a pinch of salt, not that there is anything wrong with the claim but i wont really get up and hunt for a supposed custom shop guitar that is sold under gibson USA or vice versa.
if you are lucky, which you are, good la
spoken like a fender fanboi its been well documented by gibson that certain 'mass production' models are from the custom shop.

no la im saying that gibson's range all are mass produced, custom shop a not.
i dont remember them having a specific maker for a guitar you order, basically its an off the shelf replica of a 1959 and what not. they are also very production line guitar, i dont remember you need to fill up an order form wait a while and get your custom gibson.

thats why i said before can, now i dunno. back then the gibson custom shop used to be different. you wanted a single humbucker on a LP? done. you wanted no inlays on the neck? done.

owh then i duno la
sigh then maybe i wont need to go huber, ask for gibson for a huber copy
thats just 1 forum...im sure got more others. earliest one-off's i recall seeing are from the 80s with very weird customizations...so looks like gibson custom shop are still doing weird stuff

whos mike? Gibson LP before mostly was kahlers since the 80s. wasnt easy to put a floyd into a LP body cos it was thicker. i think it was only a few yrs ago when gibson landed neal schon that they finally made one with a floyd rose...and of cos the follow up Axcess LP which is a thinner body.
em...book matched doesn't need to find 2 pieces of wood to match, it's just splitting a bigger piece of wood block, much like opening a book, hence it's called book matched...
yeah I remember you could custom order from Gibson in the past. However I believe you still can do so now as well but I think it has to be be certain quantities (from what I read).

I guess it'll be a good comparison in terms the costing that goes into an expensive guitar.
Some images linked from the site. Nothing against chinese workers but the environment looked quite appalling. However some of the guitars looks pretty nice.
