You do understand that boutique guitars are actually supposed to be made to your exact specifications... I don't mean those off the shelf suhrs, andersons or tylers (I'm with you... those Tylers are fugly!).
I meant a McNaught, McInturff, Huber, Schroeder, Custom Suhr, DeTemple, D'Pergo, Grosh, Collings, Myka, Sakashta, Rist etc etc. Made to exactly what it is you want. The neck shape, woods, radius, fretsize, controls, colour, etc etc...
The Gibson Custom Shop makes guitars they think people want to own. Not what the owner himself really wants.
You really want something exclusive? Have something made JUST FOR YOU. Not buy something made for someone else.
Yeah I know they're made to your specs and all but somehow I trust the people at Gibson more than I trust myself. I mean they have like donkey years of experience and their customshop makes really awesome guitars.
