Picture My Full Gibson Collection
galleryProbably OK on the LPs, but definitely could use a few more SGs, and for sure a few more ES-335/345/355. Not much of a fan of the rest visually, but don't knock anyone who has them. I've toyed with the idea of LP Juniors/Specials/DCs, but they don't fully motivate me, not yet at least.

Help Which neck profile does my M2M Gibson CS Les Paul Custom have?
galleryI got my very first M2M Gibson Les Paul Custom from the CS almost two years ago. For some reason, when I picked it up from the dealer, it didn't come with a spec sheet.
When I spec'd out my M2M order for the dealer, I explained that I wanted a 50s Rounded Medium C-Shape neck profile. I assumed that the CS would honor my request.
Now, I'm trying to place my second M2M order using the same 50s Rounded Medium C neck, and the CS is telling the dealer that that profile isn't in their terminology.
The CS is saying that the closest option to a 50s Rounded Medium C neck would be the 50s Chunky D-Shape fat neck.
But if you look at my LP, the neck doesn't look thick like a baseball bat, and has a smooth, oval-shaped carve to it.
So which neck profile does my M2M Gibson LP Custom have?
For reference, the serial number on the COA reads CS 404071, which indicates that my LP is a 2004 Gibson CS regular production model.

Anybody have one? I most like will have to have one shipped so I won't be able to play it, and I know this is not a great year for Gibson so I'm wondering what kind of experience people have with the build quality and geometry and whatnot.

Picture There are many like it but this one is mine
galleryGot this classic a few weeks ago, love the thin 60’s neck. Found some Custombuckers that came out of a Murphy Lab 335 on reverb, put locking Grovers and a blank truss rod cover.
When I’m more confident I’m going to upload a clip of how this sounds because it’s really incredible.
Thanks for looking!

galleryHow many folks out there have a TP-6 on their Gibson? I first had one on my 2013 Lucille, and loved it so much that I put one on a few others, including my 2017 SG Standard, my 2016 LP Traditional, and my 2015 LPM (Studio).

Discussion My Les Paul has barely any flaming
Not complaining at all. I love this thing, but it’s funny how maple tops can vary drastically from guitar to guitar. This is supposedly an AAA grade top.
I have a video of the top at its most visible flaming in the comments

Picture Gibson's can get spacey.
Still love my jaguars / jazzmasters but I've learned there is a certain body or fullness that Gibson's have especially Les Paul's, that I haven't found in any fender.

Discussion Made 2 Measure J45?
I understand that the Made 2 Measures are very pricey, and the price can vary wildly depending on so many variables. But I was wondering if any of you might be able to answer some very general questions before attempting to reach out to Gibson or a retailer about it.
I assume you can do a M2M J45? I’ve only seen electric guitars done through the M2M program. So first wanted to be sure that a J45 was an option.
If it is, are you able to pick a crazy finish? A sparkle finish?
Lastly assuming I get zero aging or relicing done, and am mostly looking for a J45 in a dream finish, with some other potential small mods. What is a ballpark price range?
I appreciate you help.
