why new line of BFG?
why studio when the LP std was fine?
why LP custom if the LP std is fine?
choices.
more market domination.

Like what you said, market domination. Then again, unless you really need to have the G on the headstock, there are better alternatives. I for one prefer the PRS offerings having owned and used a PRS and a Gib. The attention paid to the fit and finish are not even close. The Historic and Custom shop Gibs are a different story though.

There’s no guesswork. Obviously the wood can age, or if a player leaves the guitar in the trunk of their car in adverse conditions, we can’t account for future changes like that. But it’s playable right off the machine. And if that changes down the road, they can return the guitar to Gibson for service to have it re-PLEKed.

hmmm. i wonder, since we're in singapore and there isn't exactly a gibson factory here. that means we can't have it re-PLEKed?
that sucks big time...

If you do travel, there are many other places overseas that does plekking. I think there's a few over at NYC.
