What does that mean when the production number of your guitar is "0"? I would understand if the production number was "1", but "0"?
Is this a hypothetical question, or do you have a guitar #0?What does that mean when the production number of your guitar is "0"? I would understand if the production number was "1", but "0"?
Thanks. It was driving me crazy, lol.Glad you got it sorted out.
Thanks for letting us know.
I am surprised they make so many guitars in a day, I thought Gibson were proud of making handmade high quality guitars,
which takes time.
But I guess they have a big factory with lots of people.
Wait, what? It's a Gibson Guitar. Who told you it was so unique? Where in the massive number of their instruments out there did you ever get the idea that they weren't "mass produced"? Over the years there are some that are worth a decent dollar due to unique wood used or celebrity ownership at some point in time but Gibson and Fender both have produced a lot of guitars in any given year. Maybe what you're really talking about are the "custom shop" models that do come at premium prices. These are generally put together by one builder that selects pieces and assembles them but even here the guy doing the work with be using bits and pieces that were mass produced. It's not as if he alone carves the wood, paints wood or does windings in the pick ups. He's mostly just picking pieces for assembly as he selects for his idea of a good "fit" and then after building your guitar he sets it up. It should lead to a better than average guitar (I hope so because you do pay more for this) but having played a few custom shop Fender's over the years I can't say I've noticed that they were truly BETTER than more pedestrian models I own or have owned. In the end this comes back to how no two guitars are ever exactly the same and even the custom shop builder isn't capable of knowing exactly what you like best in any one guitar's individual feel and sound when you play it.Thanks for letting us know.
