Thanks Flick! Great to see Mike and the mini tour. Interesting that is shows the outside sign to Gibson USA and the inside of the Custom Shop. Of course I prefer the Custom Shop anyway.

Nice! I love behind-the-scenes looks at how things are built. The little details like the binding scrapers - I never knew such a process existed - i had always assumed the the binding was masked prior to paint. Explains the price difference from a Studio to a Standard - not only do they avoid the cost of the binding, they avoid the labor costs associated with installing and scraping.
