Their memories live on in our hearts and in the music they made. I miss them beyond words. Wait until you see and hear them playing as only they can and add in the fiery guitar assault of the incredibly gifted John Sykes, plus the relentless melodic bass pounding of Neil Murray.”</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Coverdale and co-producer Michael McIntyre launched a worldwide search for the best quality video footage and audio tracks from the 1984 tour. Among the gems found was a set from: ‘Super-Rock’, recorded at the first Japanese rock festival at Seibu Stadium in Tokyo and an invaluable video of Jon Lord’s final appearance with&nbsp;<strong>WHITESNAKE</strong>&nbsp;recorded live in Sweden. “All of the features on this package have been treated lovingly and respectfully, with no expense spared, utilizing technology to improve sound and picture quality,” says Coverdale, who personally oversaw all elements of this release.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;

At the same time, Schenker was about ready to start working on a new album. He went to a studio in Muenster to record a demo. Michael Voss was engineering and laid down guide vocals.</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Schenker liked his voice and asked Voss if he wanted to do the singing.&nbsp; When Schenker finished the demo he played it to Pete and Herman. They liked what they heard and immediately offered to become the rhythm section. The result was 2011’s "Temple Of Rock" album which featured guest musicians including Star Trek’s Captain Kirk (William Shatner) who recorded the spoken word intro on the album.&nbsp; Schenker ended up playing on Shatner’s solo album. Vocalist Doogie White also appeared on the album.

The tour was so successful that Schenker decided to film one of the concerts for a live DVD.&nbsp; The band got stronger and stronger and completed their European tour, but more offers were coming in to perform additional gigs.</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Schenker seized the opportunity to record an album after the end of the first leg of their European tour. There was a six month window. Doogie was ready to go for it and so was the rest of the band. Schenker started laying down tracks and gave the material to Doogie so he could start writing the lyrics. Off they went recording with Michael Voss as their engineer/ co-producer. Everything went like clockwork and was finished before the set off to tour Russia in April 2013.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The band toured for another three months in Europe and grew stronger. After finishing the second part of the tour, they got back together and remixed and re-mastered the album.&nbsp; Entitled "Bridge The Gap", the album will be released December 2nd 2013.&nbsp; In 2014, Michael Schenker’s Temple of Rock will embark on a North American tour. "We’re ready to rock," says Schenker.</span></p></div><p align="center"></p><div style="text-align: start;"><a href="http://www.noblepr.co.uk/Press_Releases/michaelschenker/uktour2014/michaelschenker_06-hr.jpg" target="_blank" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;

background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><strong><em>Hindsight&nbsp;</em></strong>recently debuted at the top of the Australian album charts, firmly cementing &nbsp;Jimmy Barnes’ place in Australian’s rock music’s history books, chalking up his fourteenth number one album, ten of which he has earned as a solo performer and four from his time in Australian rock band&nbsp;<strong>Cold Chisel</strong>.</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Thirty years after setting out to claim some history of his own, Jimmy Barnes is sounding better than ever.&nbsp; His greatest hits have never sounded as good as they do with a little help from his family and some famous friends, on&nbsp;<strong><em>Hindsight</em></strong>.</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Family includes daughter&nbsp;<strong>Mahalia</strong>, son&nbsp;<strong>David Campbell</strong>&nbsp;and brother-in-law&nbsp;<strong>Diesel</strong>. And the friends include&nbsp;<strong>Keith Urban</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>The Living End</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Tina Arena</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Steven Van Zandt</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Joe Bonamassa</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Neal Schon</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Jonathan Cain</strong>&nbsp;of&nbsp;<strong>Journey</strong>, and many more.</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">As for the songs, most are iconic in their own right -&nbsp;<strong>‘No Second Prize’</strong>,<strong>&nbsp;‘Working Class Man’</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>‘I’d Die To Be With You Tonight’</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>‘Lay Down Your Guns’</strong>,<strong>&nbsp;‘Good Times’</strong>, to name a few.</span></p><p align="center" style="text-align: start;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><iframe width="615" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/npEKLoK5fQo?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"These songs are important to me - I wouldn’t go out there and change the essence of the songs," says Jimmy. "But I didn’t bring in all these great artists to tell them what to do. &nbsp;I’m actually working with them because I’m learning from them. It was like, ‘What are we going to do with this and have fun with it?’ They sound like new songs now and they’re fresh to sing."</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"At this time 30 years ago, I’d just left Cold Chisel," recalls Jimmy. "It was a frightening world out there. I was wondering what I was going to do and how it was going to work. Luckily for me, I had a great ally, partner and sounding board in Michael Gudinski.</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"I think we finished the last of [Chisel’s]&nbsp;<strong><em>The Last Stand</em></strong>&nbsp;shows in December ’83 and I was on tour and road-testing songs by February/March ’84, then in the studio recording in April, so we didn’t muck about at all.</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"I wanted to keep the momentum going.&nbsp; I just wanted to do what I do best, which is perform live and make rock ’n’ roll music. We went into the studio in Sydney with Mark Opitz and made&nbsp;<strong><em>Bodyswerve</em></strong>. Nobody had the chance to compare it to Cold Chisel because I never stopped. We played hard, raw rock ’n’ roll. We weren’t trying to be anything we weren’t, and people either liked it or they didn’t. We just put it out there and, luckily for me, it went to number one. It was a good start."</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Fast-forward 30 years to the new&nbsp;<strong><em>Hindsight</em></strong>&nbsp;album...</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"I was trying to do something special for the 30th anniversary. Chisel did&nbsp;<strong><em>Standing On The Outside</em></strong>, where we got a lot of our favourite bands to record our songs. It’s a great idea, but everyone’s been doing it. And, that idea took me out of the picture. So I thought, I’ll get all my favourite acts and I’ll get to sing with them! It’s either me being the singer, or doing duets.</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"I tour a lot and I’m always stimulated by support bands and all the musicians I work with. So over the years I have done lots of collaborations – Double Happiness was an album of duets; I’ve done duets with Tina Turner, INXS, John Farnham, Joe Cocker and many others.</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"I find that every time I sing with another artist, or work with another band, I learn something new. &nbsp;Particularly a record like Hindsight – what I’ve been doing is getting the band to do the song the way they would do it, and I would sing with the band. And I think that’s a really great thing - as long as you keep learning, you’re moving forward."</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><strong><em>Hindsight&nbsp;</em></strong>sees Jimmy surrounded by family and friends, revisiting some of the biggest hits from throughout his solo career, along with a few deeper cuts and personal favourites. Family includes daughter Mahalia, son David Campbell and brother-in-law Diesel. And the friends include Keith Urban, The Living End, Tina Arena, Steven Van Zandt, Joe Bonamassa, etc.</span></p><p align="center" style="text-align: start;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><img src="http://www.noblepr.co.uk/Press_Releases/provogue/images/jimmybarnes/set1.png" width="615" height="459" vspace="4" border="0" usemap="#Map2Map" title="click for hi res"><map name="Map2Map" id="Map2Map"></map></span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">As for the songs, most are icons in their own right:&nbsp;<strong>‘No Second Prize’</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>‘Working Class Man’</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>‘I’d</strong>&nbsp;<strong>Die To Be With You Tonight’</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>‘Lay Down Your Guns’</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>‘Good Times’</strong>, to name a few.</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">After&nbsp;<strong><em>Bodyserve</em></strong>, what followed was an unparalleled and unbroken streak of six chart-topping albums in a row, spanning the remainder of the 1980s and into the ’90s. Just like Cold Chisel previously, Jimmy’s music literally provided the soundtrack for a generation of Australians.</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The incredible statistics from his solo career tell only part of the story: Nine number one albums in total; all but one of his 14 studio albums debuting inside the Top 3; twice inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame (as a solo artist and member of Cold Chisel).</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"I’d come up with a shortlist of songs. Basically, I had a good idea of the artist I wanted for each song - I didn’t want to put square pegs into round holes. The whole thing has been made quite quickly and spontaneously.&nbsp; The first track we put down was&nbsp;<strong>‘Ride The Night Away’</strong>&nbsp;which was originally on&nbsp;<strong><em>For The Working Class Man</em></strong>&nbsp;album.</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Back then Steven Van Zandt sent that song to me via Gary Gersh, who was the A&amp;R man for Geffen Records in America. It was a little demo that he’d recorded on a Dictaphone. There was nothing else on it, just Steven scatting. Steven and drummer Steve Jordan had written this song specifically for me. When I got it, it was just the perfect demo. I just put it in the right key for me and I did it. I’ve been a fan of Springsteen since 1973 – the E Street Band is one of my favourite bands in the world, but I’d never seen them live – we’d never crossed paths and I was always working when they were touring.</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"When they came back to Australia this time (March 2014), and I was working with them in New Zealand, I got this idea in my head that I would like to do the song&nbsp;<strong>with [Little] Steven</strong>. I went up to him and said, "This song you sent me 30 years ago, I wouldn’t mind recording it with you." So Steven came to my house. My son [Jackie] played drums, and I got Steven playing the guitar solo and singing harmonies. Virtually, it was take three, but we spent about 12 hours together, just talking."</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Then I went to America where I hooked up with&nbsp;<strong>Keith Urban</strong>. I’ve known Keith since he was a young performer. I think one of his very first recordings was in my house in Mittagong, near Bowral. &nbsp;He’s a really lovely guy and a great guitar player and singer.</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"I’ve been doing a Vanda &amp; Young song called ‘Good Times’ since 1987, when I did it with INXS. I sent it to Keith, and got him in the studio with [producer]&nbsp;<strong>Kevin Shirley</strong>&nbsp;in America. We did a rockin’ version."</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Kevin Shirley produced the Hindsight album. He produced Cold Chisel’s last album [<em>No Plans</em>]. We get on really well. He has a great history of rock ’n’ roll music and he lived in Australia for a while, so he has a great sense of Australian music."</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Kevin hooked me up with&nbsp;<strong>Joe Bonamassa</strong>, an awesome guitar player. We’ve collaborated on ‘Too Much Ain’t Enough Love’ and he also plays on ‘Stone Cold’ which was fantastic."</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"From there, it just started snowballing. I wanted to do something with&nbsp;<strong>Mark Lizotte</strong>, Diesel. I got&nbsp;<strong>The Living End</strong>&nbsp;to do a track.&nbsp;<strong>Mahalia</strong>, my daughter, did a track. I recorded&nbsp;<strong>‘I’d Rather Be</strong>&nbsp;<strong>Blind’</strong>&nbsp;with&nbsp;<strong>Jon Stevens</strong>; he’s one of my favourite singers of all time. We’re dear mates, we’ve grown up together. He used to support me when he was a young singer, and now we do gigs together all the time.

We allocated a whole day in the studio – 12 hours to do the song. But with a band like The Living End, we ran through the song once – yep, it’s the right key. We ran through it again – yep, we’ll push this and pull that. And then the third take, the song’s done. We virtually had the song done in an hour."</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I re-visited&nbsp;<strong>‘I’d Die To Be With Tonight’</strong>, which I sing with my brother-in-law Diesel (Mark Lizotte).&nbsp; It was a big song for me, one of the pivotal songs of my career. I wanted to work with Diesel and I said, ‘What song would you like to do?’ and that was his first choice loved. It’s modernised the song but also taken me back to 1987, or whenever it was when The Injectors album came out and when I was first recording that song."</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"I sang&nbsp;<strong>‘Stand Up’</strong>&nbsp;with my daughter Mahalia.&nbsp; She’s a beast – a phenomenal singer. &nbsp;She’s one of the best girls I know. I’m biased, because I’m her father, but she’s got a great work ethic, she sings harder than anyone I know, she’s a caring person, a great mother and she’s a great mentor for young artists … She picked ‘Stand Up’, which is one of my favourite tunes from the Heat album.&nbsp; Mahalia and her band, The Soul Mates, did it first take, and it was just frightening.&nbsp; It reminded me of Sly and the Family Stone. Singing with Mahalia is a challenge every time I do it now because she just sings so damn good.</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"I’m really happy with the record because we’ve actually kicked some life into the songs.

They sound aggressive, which I really like."</span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"I didn’t want to do just the best-of.

There was an entire industry to help the next Beatles, Stones, Prince, Hendrix, to prop them up and support them every step of the way. There are still record companies, and it does apply to pop, rap, and country to an extent.

There is no industry for that anymore. And who is the culprit? There's always the changing tide of interests — music taste changes with each generation. To blame that is silly. That was always the exciting part, after all: "What's next?" But there's something else. The death of rock was not a natural death. Rock did not die of old age. It was murdered. And the real culprit is that kid's 15-year-old next-door neighbor, probably a friend of his. Maybe even one of the bandmates he's jamming with. The tragedy is that they seem to have no idea that they just killed their own opportunity — they killed the artists they would have loved. Some brilliance, somewhere, was going to be expressed, and now it won't, because it's that much harder to earn a living playing and writing songs.

It's harder, isn't it, to name artists with as much confidence? The pickings are so slim, and it's not an arbitrary difference. There was a 10- to 15-year period in the '60s and '70s that gave birth to almost every artist we now call "iconic," or "classic." If you know anything about what makes longevity, about what makes something an everlasting icon, it's hard to find after that. The craft is gone, and that is what technology, in part, has brought us.

If you're a native-born American, my contention is that you take a lot of things for granted. All the freedoms and opportunities you have here are expected, and you feel entitled. I think this has taken over the American psyche. I find that many of the more patriotic people are immigrants, and they're the ones who stand still when the flag goes up, out of gratitude. My sense is that file-sharing started in predominantly white, middle- and upper-middle-class young people who were native-born, who felt they were entitled to have something for free, because that's what they were used to. If you believe in capitalism — and I'm a firm believer in free-market capitalism — then that other model is chaos. It destroys the structure. You'll never understand unless you're the one that wrote the song, and you were the one that had the band, whose music people took without paying you for.

I don't care what side of the aisle you're on — I find faults in both, some social and some political issues — but everywhere, people are taking a lot of things for granted. And you would know the majesty that is America if you came from hundreds of other countries I could name. If you come from a place where every day above ground is a life-threatening event, and you had the same ambition and values as the most successful people here, you would never reach the same heights.

But the significance and irony of that tour's name isn't lost on Perry, who surveys the dearth of successful rock bands out there nowadays and bluntly tells Yahoo Music, "I have a feeling that we're kind of at the end of an era, in a lot of different ways."</span></p><p style="margin: 11px 0px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span class="yui-media yui-editorial-embed" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"></span></p><div id="ymh-player-swf" class="yom-figure yom-fig-center" style="margin: 20px auto; padding: 0px; clear: both; text-align: center; left: 0px;"><div class="video-wrap show" style="text-align: start; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><iframe src="https://music.yahoo.com/video/back-saddle-210607019.html?format=embed&amp;player_autoplay=false" allowfullscreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true" allowtransparency="true" data-yom-embed-source="{media_id_1:cf61091d-cbd5-351e-9a18-751579142141}" frameborder="0" height="354" width="630" class="yom-art-video"></iframe></span></div></div><p style="margin: 11px 0px 0px; padding: 0px;"></p><p style="margin: 11px 0px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"We just saw a pretty amazing age of music go by, starting with all the social unrest and the war in the '60s. The music really was a lot more than it is today, more of a statement. It was more of an us-against-them thing, kind of the background marching orders for the revolution, for the change that happened in the '50s and '60s," Perry explains. "Bands would go out there and play just for the joy of being able to go out and play music, without this huge celebrity thing that comes along with it now. And then we had the MTV era, which I think were the golden years of rock 'n' roll. But now there's very few bands with that old show-must-go-on attitude, that built their reputations on playing live and managed to stay together and still carry that.

But that's kind of the way our whole economy is now. It's built on growth instead of quality.

All these years, over the last 20 years, we'd get these requests, like, 'Why don't you make a record like the old ones?'

"We all had this one vision, and that was to entertain the fans, because&nbsp;<em style="font-weight: bold;">we</em>&nbsp;all were fans first.

It keeps the inside of the building off Nashville’s Elm Hill Pike at 45-percent humidity, to preserve the quality of the exquisite woods used in the iconic guitars made there:&nbsp;<a href="http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-Custom.aspx" style="color: rgb(0, 99, 166) !important;" target="_blank">Les Pauls</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/SG/Gibson-Custom.aspx" style="color: rgb(0, 99, 166) !important;" target="_blank">SGs</a>,<a href="http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Archtop/Gibson-Custom.aspx" style="color: rgb(0, 99, 166) !important;" target="_blank">L-5s</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Flying-V/Gibson-Custom.aspx" style="color: rgb(0, 99, 166) !important;" target="_blank">Flying Vs</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Archtop/Gibson-Custom.aspx" style="color: rgb(0, 99, 166) !important;" target="_blank">Super 400s</a>&nbsp;and many more.

The truth is, that era never really ended at Gibson. Especially at the Custom Shop, where only a few key processes are streamlined by modern technology. If company founder Orville Gibson walked into the nondescript Custom Shop building today he’d see many of the procedures he started done in exactly the same way. Binding is still laid in and glued by hand. A carver that used to be powered by steam carves the tops of hollowbody guitars like the&nbsp;<a href="http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Archtop/Gibson-Custom/ES-5-Switchmaster.aspx" style="color: rgb(0, 99, 166) !important;" target="_blank">Switchmaster</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Archtop/Gibson-Custom/L-4-CES-Mahogany.aspx" style="color: rgb(0, 99, 166) !important;" target="_blank">L4-CES</a>. High-gloss finishes are hand-buffed to perfection.

And it’s kept stacked on shelves and pallets just inside the shop, right behind the wall that separates ready-to-ship guitars and the factory floor.</div> <img align="absmiddle" alt="Wood Becomes Magic" height="400" src="http://images.gibson.com/Lifestyle/English/aaFeaturesImages2009/Making-of-a-Gibson-Custom/Wood-Becomes-Magic.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: none; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 8px;" title="Wood Becomes Magic" width="900" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> At the Custom Shop, programmable machines in the rough mill initially carve the necks and the bodies of some models. But all begin as blocks of wood on the Custom Shop shelves and are cut to shape and routed for various pickup configurations, electronics, etc., on site.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> As you would expect, most jobs are highly specialized and require the expertise of staffers like Richard Ickes. The dean of the wood shop with 36 years of service, Ickes came to Nashville with the company when it moved from Kalamazoo, Mich., in 1985. Although Ickes pinch-hits throughout all the woodworking areas of the plant, he’s best known for painstakingly carving the tops of hollowbody archtops like the L-5 and L-4 on the very carver he used in Gibson’s original location.</div> <img align="right" alt="Richard Ickles" border="0" height="400" hspace="12" src="http://images.gibson.com/Lifestyle/English/aaFeaturesImages2009/Making-of-a-Gibson-Custom/Richard-Ickes.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: none; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 8px;" title="Richard Ickles" vspace="12" width="266" /><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> “They had these same machines way back in the 1930s, and I learned on them,” says Ickes. “They were originally steam powered, but were converted to electricity before I came on in 1973. It takes a while to get the hang of them, but it comes. You learn how to change the fixtures that get fitted in place on the table of the machine. And you make all the adjustments by hand to get the correct radiuses and curves and thicknesses of the tops, and then guide the carving.”</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> After the tops are carved they still have uneven surfaces. Those are belt and hand sanded to smoothness and then the bracing that supports the tops is hand-cut and shaped from strips of wood to exacting specifications for each model, and glued in place.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> The wood shop is also where the sides of hollowbody guitars — maple, mahogany or laminate strips cut to vintage spec depths — are soaked in a warm-water-based solution and then bent and dried on metal forms. Then the side, tops, and bottoms are glued together and bound in place with rope-like strands of cloth while they dry and set.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Between Ickes’ vintage lathes — the same machines that were used to make&nbsp;<a href="http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Archtop/Gibson-Custom/Wes-Montgomery-L-5CES.aspx" style="color: rgb(0, 99, 166) !important;" target="_blank">Wes Montgomery’s L-5</a>&nbsp;and the Custom Shop’s binding area are the computer controlled machines that cut and route out Les Pauls and other solidbody classics that comprise most of the facility’s orders.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> <strong>TLC FOR NECKS AND BINDING</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Next to the wood shop are various stations of the neck making process. After the necks are rough cut they are smoothed and sanded. Two small holes are drilled into their faces to anchor the fretboards, and a channel running the length of the neck is made for the truss rod.</div> <img align="absmiddle" alt="Neck work" height="450" src="http://images.gibson.com/Lifestyle/English/aaFeaturesImages2009/Making-of-a-Gibson-Custom/Neck-TLC.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: none; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 8px;" title="Neck work" width="900" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Fretboard woods — typically rosewood or ebony — arrive at Gibson cut roughly to shape. They are trimmed to fit specific models and fitted with fret wire, and then seated and glued to the necks. The glued neck and fretboards are bound with cloth strips they hang on a circular metal tree to dry and set. But before that can happen the truss rods are placed in the neck channels, which are then covered with a thin strip of maple.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Every bit of this process is done by hand. And every guitar player knows how important a guitar’s neck is to its overall playability, so there’s no room for carelessness or corner cutting. The necks and fretboards are cleared of excess glue, rough fret edges, sawdust, and any other imperfections at various points in the manufacturing process before — and after — they are seated and set into bodies.</div> <img align="absmiddle" alt="Fret Work" height="450" src="http://images.gibson.com/Lifestyle/English/aaFeaturesImages2009/Making-of-a-Gibson-Custom/Fret-Work.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: none; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 8px;" title="Fret Work" width="900" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Guitars and necks that require binding, which lends many classic models extra beauty and style, make a stop for one more procedure before that binding is applied. The “rabbet” channels that accommodate the binding are cut along the edges of the body and neck where the decorative binding strips will be applied. Some guitars require binding on the inner edges of their f-holes, as well.</div> <img align="absmiddle" alt="Body Binding" height="400" src="http://images.gibson.com/Lifestyle/English/aaFeaturesImages2009/Making-of-a-Gibson-Custom/Binding.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: none; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 8px;" title="Body Binding" width="900" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> The binding station looks like a scene from a “Mummy” movie. Workers in white apply the biding to the rabbet channels with glue and once it’s seated they wrap the guitars head to toe in white cloth stripping — much like Boris Karloff was wrapped in the classic 1932 monster flick. They are surrounded by dozens of guitars on racks: mini-mummies drying and setting to prepare for a very different kind of immortality.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> <strong>BODY SANDING AND PICKGUARD TRICKS</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> The precision that five-year Gibson man Lenny Henderson brings to sanding is amazing, but watching him do his job can also give a guitarist the heebie-jeebies. Henderson is a player himself, and if his hand slipped off the cloth he uses to manipulate a giant sanding belt to smooth and contour the bodies of Les Pauls, Vs, and other solidbodies … well, he could possibly lose more than his calluses.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> But Henderson’s a pro. He pushes down on the belt — enhancing the gentle arch of a Les Paul’s top — with grace and confidence.</div> <img align="absmiddle" alt="Body-sanding" height="450" src="http://images.gibson.com/Lifestyle/English/aaFeaturesImages2009/Making-of-a-Gibson-Custom/Body-Sanding.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: none; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 8px;" title="Body-sanding" width="900" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> “This job does require a lot of eye/hand coordination,” he relates. “I have to make judgment calls constantly about how the surface looks and feels, and make sure the belt gets applied properly. If I make a mistake, there’s no doing this over. So I need to really know what different models look and feel like. Being a player gives me perspective.”</div> <img align="absmiddle" alt="Body-sanding 2" height="400" src="http://images.gibson.com/Lifestyle/English/aaFeaturesImages2009/Making-of-a-Gibson-Custom/Body-Sanding-2.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: none; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 8px;" title="Body-sanding 2" width="900" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> On the other side of a small wall, Darren Haston is cutting out pick guards. But it’s not as easy as he makes it look. The blades must be well maintained, the presets carefully dialed in, or the plate material with have burrs or shatter. And then there are specialized jobs.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> “I just got done cutting some Flying V pickguards for Lenny Kravitz,” he explains, holding up a few gorgeous examples made from a gold, mirror-like composite. “Flying V pick guards are a little hard anyway, because of the complexity of their shape, but material like this is brittle so it has a tendency to shatter. You might need to go through six or seven sheets to get two guards. And then I needed to hand buff the edges, because they have rough, sharp spots in them, but now these are pretty gorgeous.”</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> <strong>NECK FITTING AND COUNTERFEITING</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> “People think that everything is automated in a shop like this,” says Patrick Keeter, “but the truth is it’s all messy and hands-on, and that’s the way it needs to be to do it right.”</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Keeter’s job is broad. Although his department’s designation is “Neck Fit,” he and his crew also examine the quality of everything that’s been done so far — essentially every aspect of neck, fretboard, binding and body work. And, of course, this is where neck tenons — typically extra long in keeping with the vintage design standards that are the Custom Shop’s stock-in-trade — are fitted into body cavities and, once perfectly snugged, glued in place.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Neck Fit is also where the transponders that are standard equipment for every Custom Shop guitar are inserted into a tiny hole drilled in the neck tenons, which makes removal virtually impossible after the necks and bodies are glued together.</div> <img align="absmiddle" alt="Neck Fitting" height="450" src="http://images.gibson.com/Lifestyle/English/aaFeaturesImages2009/Making-of-a-Gibson-Custom/Neck-Fitting.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: none; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 8px;" title="Neck Fitting" width="900" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> “In 1999 we started doing this with the R-9s,” he explains. “Beginning in 2000 they’ve gone into every Custom Shop guitar.”</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Mark Case, a member of the Custom Shop’s sales force who you’re likely to see at guitar shows or other special exhibits, says each transponder — about half the size of a typical oblong headache pill — has a distinct number. They can allow guitars to be tracked during the manufacturing process with greater precision. More important to musicians and collectors, the transponders can be used to foil counterfeiters and thieves. If somebody’s trying to sell a guitar, it can be scanned to see if it belongs to another owner, is a genuine Gibson, or is a vintage guitar or a reproduction.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> “There have been cases of people trying to pass off our Custom Shop reissues as genuine ’59s and that sort of thing,” Case says. “This is one way to stop that from happening.”</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Keeter is inserting a transponder into the neck tenon of an&nbsp;<a href="http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/ES/Gibson-Custom.aspx" style="color: rgb(0, 99, 166) !important;" target="_blank">ES-335</a>&nbsp;with a pair of tweezers as we speak. Then he picks up a toothbrush and wipes a few specs of glue and sawdust off the fretboard and chases that with a gust of compressed air to clear dust from the base of the tenon. He does the same on the neck slot of the guitar’s body after using a chisel to trim an almost imperceptible sliver of wood off its side. Then he eyeballs the slot and lightly digs in with the chisel once more before sliding the neck into place and declaring it right.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> “We also clean out the cutaways on the carved tops and semihollows, to make sure they’re right and cosmetically perfect,” Keeter says. “After we glue the necks inside the body we let it set for an hour. Once it sets that long it ain’t comin’ out. “We do one guitar every five minutes or so,” he continues, replacing a chisel with a handsome curly maple handle bearing the word “Gibson” on his waist high workbench.</div> <img align="absmiddle" alt="Tools" height="300" src="http://images.gibson.com/Lifestyle/English/aaFeaturesImages2009/Making-of-a-Gibson-Custom/Tools.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: none; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 8px;" title="Tools" width="900" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> “We also make our own tools,” he adds, smiling. “Every luthier who comes through here on tour wants to know where they can get these.”</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> <strong>PLEKED TO PERFECTION</strong></div> <img align="left" alt="Check the PLEK" border="0" height="600" hspace="12" src="http://images.gibson.com/Lifestyle/English/aaFeaturesImages2009/Making-of-a-Gibson-Custom/PLEK.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: none; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 8px;" title="Check the PLEK" vspace="12" width="400" /><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> From there the guitars move along to fret inspection and filing, where the fretboard gets yet another thorough exam, cleaning, and tweaking. At this stage guitars that will be painted in a burst color or, perhaps, given an aged look get a coating of stain to prepare them.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Next to the fret filing department stands the Custom Shop’s twin Plek machines. A hallmark of every guitar produced here is that it is adjusted and set — leveled and dressed — for maximum playability on the machines, which have a greater degree of accuracy than any human.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Custom Shop general manager and Gibson senior VP Rick Gembar had his eye on the machines for years as their German manufacturer worked the bugs out. And the Custom Shop acquired this deuce three years ago.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> They are remarkably self-contained: glass boxes with armatures and other mechanisms to run the cutting tools and measuring devices over the guitars.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> “We have software templates for every guitar we make,” says Jeff Renfro, a nine-year employee who introduces himself as “the Plek master.” Renfro runs the machines, which take about 10 minutes per guitar to work their magic.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> “When they first arrived we only used the Plek machines for&nbsp;<a href="http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Gibson-Custom.aspx?ProductGroup=Vintage-Original-Spec" style="color: rgb(0, 99, 166) !important;">the Vintage Original Spec series</a>, but we realized they provided such a great value for the customer,” Renfro says. “Essentially they are the ultimate fret filers. We make our own braces to seat the guitars in the machines, and then the Pleks simulate string tension and adjust and file the frets while they simultaneously cut the nut. They can peel off just a thousandth of an inch.”</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Renfro adds that the Pleks can be used on older guitars as well, even to fix a warped neck. But the typical aftermarket cost of a trip on the Plek can run $300 or more. So Pleking is an added value for Custom Shop customers.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> <strong>COLOR THEM BEAUTIFUL</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> The next major stop for the Custom Shop’s guitars is the paint room, where the bodies are sprayed — binding and all — and air dried on moving racks similar to the curved, roller-coaster like assemblies at a big dry cleaning shop.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> <img alt="Paint Room" height="400" src="http://images.gibson.com/Lifestyle/English/aaFeaturesImages2009/Making-of-a-Gibson-Custom/Paint-Room.jpg" style="border: none; margin: 8px;" title="Paint Room" width="900" /></div> <span style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Every guitar gets multiple coats of paint. Some, like bursts or other specialized shades, more than others.</span><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> “In sunbursts, there are four different colors — two in the necks and two in the body,” says Mike McGuire, who’s been spray-painting guitars for 20 years.</div> <img alt="Paint Room 3" height="400" src="http://images.gibson.com/Lifestyle/English/aaFeaturesImages2009/Making-of-a-Gibson-Custom/Paint-Room-3.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: none; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 8px;" title="Paint Room 3" width="900" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> “You need to have a really sharp eye to make sure the paint is going on evenly and you’re creating the right color pattern and coating all of the neck and body,” he says. “Generally if there’s a problem in the finish it happens later, where maybe a nick or ding occurs, or it’s a matter of the wood having too much moisture, which could cause the paint to bubble. But that’s incredibly rare, since the wood moisture level is checked before it gets to the builders.”</div> <img alt="Paint Room 2" height="208" src="http://images.gibson.com/Lifestyle/English/aaFeaturesImages2009/Making-of-a-Gibson-Custom/Paint-Room-2.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: none; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 8px;" title="Paint Room 2" width="900" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> What happens next is another example of outstanding, old fashioned eye and hand craftsmanship.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> After the paint is applied and dries, it needs to be removed from the binding so those stylish bands once again become visible. Wanda Marshall and Marsha Carr have been doing that job, called “Scraping,” for 22 and 33 years respectively.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Without any hesitation Marshall and Carr grab the painted guitars, set them on their laps, heft sharp edged blades, and simply draw them over the binding to reveal the perfectly defined, straight-edged ivory or ebony strips every time. They do it seamlessly, without any edging or alignment tools. Really, without even thinking about it.</div> <img align="absmiddle" alt="Scraping Binding" height="400" src="http://images.gibson.com/Lifestyle/English/aaFeaturesImages2009/Making-of-a-Gibson-Custom/Binding-Scraping.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: none; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 8px;" title="Scraping Binding" width="900" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> “I’ve been doing this so long it’s completely second nature to me, and I love it,” says Marshall. “You have to maintain a perfectly straight line when you draw they blade to uncover the binding, because they don’t mask anything, And I really enjoy seeing how beautiful these guitar come out when we’re done.”</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Marshall confides she had a different kind of edge when she first started doing the job. “I’m from the country, and when I was a little girl I had an uncle who used to whittle on a piece of cedar, and I’d pester him to let me do it. He finally taught me, but I couldn’t do it without him, because the blades were sharp.”</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Carr says it takes about 30 to 45 minutes to scrape guitars with binding on the front and back, and on the rims of f-holes, and about half that time for guitars with a single binding. While she doesn’t play, she does own a Gibson acoustic and a Cherry Sunburst Les Paul she got for her first 25 years of service.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> <strong>THE END OF THE LINE</strong></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Once the paint’s finish is right, guitars get several thin coats of nitro-cellulose lacquer, readying them for a shine that’d put any sports car to shame for the gloss models.</div> <img align="absmiddle" alt="Conveyor - Dry" height="421" src="http://images.gibson.com/Lifestyle/English/aaFeaturesImages2009/Making-of-a-Gibson-Custom/Dry-Line.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: none; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 8px;" title="Conveyor - Dry" width="631" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Once the lacquer is dried, they move on to the buffing area. There, these optimum lacquer coatings are buffed to a rich finish by utilizing buffing wheels containing a red wax, then yellow wax and then finally a high gloss polish. All gloss models are buffed to a mirror finish, but the highly popular VOS models get special treatment all their own.</div> <img align="absmiddle" alt="Buffing" height="400" src="http://images.gibson.com/Lifestyle/English/aaFeaturesImages2009/Making-of-a-Gibson-Custom/Buffing.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: none; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 8px;" title="Buffing" width="900" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> All&nbsp;<a href="http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Gibson-Custom.aspx?ProductGroup=Vintage-Original-Spec" style="color: rgb(0, 99, 166) !important;">VOS (Vintage Original Spec) series guitars</a>&nbsp;use a visually stunning proprietary process that includes unique steps for staining, wet-sanding, and hand-rubbing; subsequently the guitars reflect what a well-cared for 40-year-old guitar looks like. The result is a remarkable patina that will delight even the most discriminating enthusiast.</div> <img align="absmiddle" alt="Miscellaneous" height="199" src="http://images.gibson.com/Lifestyle/English/aaFeaturesImages2009/Making-of-a-Gibson-Custom/Miscellaneous.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: none; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 8px;" title="Miscellaneous" width="900" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> “Final assembly” is where all the electronics — wiring, volume and tone controls, the pickup selector switch, and Gibson’s own in-house wound and dipped pickups — are installed. But that’s not the last hurdle the Custom Shop’s premium guitars need to clear.</div> <img align="absmiddle" alt="Final Assembly" height="400" src="http://images.gibson.com/Lifestyle/English/aaFeaturesImages2009/Making-of-a-Gibson-Custom/Final-Assembly.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: none; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 8px;" title="Final Assembly" width="900" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Randy Russell is. The curly-haired musician and songwriter is the last measure of each guitar made by the Custom Shop. As instruments leave final assembly, they go directly to his workbench and he plays every single one before it’s packed for shipping.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> The 25-year Gibson veteran is picking quick runs up and down the neck of&nbsp;<a href="http://www2.gibson.com/news-lifestyle/features/en-us/spotlight-on-lp-axcess.aspx" style="color: rgb(0, 99, 166) !important;">a Les Paul Axcess</a>&nbsp;while we speak. “Since I am literally the end of the line I check all the hardware to make sure it’s working,” Russell says. “I check the pickups and the tone – very important. I make sure there are no scratches or dings in the body and that the binding’s in place. Also, that the necks are set up perfectly for playing.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> “You’ve gotta love playing guitar to do this job,” he notes.</div> <img align="absmiddle" alt="Final Assembly 2" height="400" src="http://images.gibson.com/Lifestyle/English/aaFeaturesImages2009/Making-of-a-Gibson-Custom/Final-Assembly-2.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: none; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 8px;" title="Final Assembly 2" width="900" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Case amplifies the importance of the highest level of playability. “We put a lot of effort into getting the colors and weight — ideally nothing heavier than nine pounds or so — and other details of the guitars in the Custom Shop correct, but the bottom line is this: Nobody is going to pick up a reissue Les Paul and say, ‘This color makes my new guitar play well.’ They want a guitar that’s going to feel and sound like it’s been around for 50 years.”</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Russell enters the transponder code for each guitar in a logbook before it is placed in a case and prepared for shipping. If there’s a snag with an instrument, he sends it to a small cluster of benches just behind the Custom Shop’s front offices called the “Pro Shop.” There issues like paint repairs or hardware replacement are resolved, rather than sending guitars back to the factory floor.</div> <img align="absmiddle" alt="Transponder Code" height="600" src="http://images.gibson.com/Lifestyle/English/aaFeaturesImages2009/Making-of-a-Gibson-Custom/Transponder.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: none; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 8px;" title="Transponder Code" width="900" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></span><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Some highly specialized six-strings, like the Duane Eddy model, have their hardware installed at the Pro Shop. “I also do some quality control on models like this, which have ornate inlays and a custom neck profile,” says John Slater, one of the Pro Shop’s technicians.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> “We also handle the needs of musicians who are Gibson endorsers,” he adds.</div> <img align="left" alt="Box and Ship" border="0" height="600" hspace="12" src="http://images.gibson.com/Lifestyle/English/aaFeaturesImages2009/Making-of-a-Gibson-Custom/Ship.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: none; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin: 8px;" title="Box and Ship" vspace="12" width="400" /><br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> By definition, though, the Gibson Custom Shop is in business to cater to the rarified tastes of pros, weekend warriors, collectors, and rock and roll fantasists alike. The Shop’s guitars are built as recreations of Holy Grail instruments, from the ’59 Les Paul to the Jimi Hendrix Flying V to the recently issued<a href="http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-Custom/Jeff-Beck-1954-Les-Paul-Oxblood.aspx" style="color: rgb(0, 99, 166) !important;" target="_blank">1954 Jeff Beck Les Paul Oxblood</a>&nbsp;(a staggeringly precise doppelganger of the famed axe Beck used for Blow By Blow and other epochal recordings) to models bearing the signatures of Warren Haynes, Alex Lifeson, Peter Frampton, Jimmy Page, Joe Perry, Slash, Zakk Wylde, Joe Bonamassa and more.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> “We’re really here to satisfy the imaginations of our customers,” says Case. “Take the Johnny A. guitar. Johnny was about to become a Gibson endorser.

He was visiting here with Mike McGuire and saw a prototype that was being developed with a long scale neck and a hollow body, but the sonic characteristics of a Les Paul. “That guitar spoke to him, and soon he and the engineers were trading ideas back and forth. The body and the f-holes changed. It got a custom neck profile, and the inlays became more ornate and art deco. By the time they were finished it was clearly his guitar, so the&nbsp;<a href="http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Archtop/Gibson-Custom/Johnny-A.-with-Bigsby.aspx" style="color: rgb(0, 99, 166) !important;" target="_blank">Johnny A. model</a>&nbsp;was born.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> “But you don’t have to be a star to get your dream guitar,” Case continues. “Anybody is welcome to use their dealer to contact the Custom Shop and tell us what they want. If it has a body shape like a guitar we build already, chances are we can do it. Color, hardware, pickup configuration, inlays … A lot of people want to customize their own Les Pauls, which we love to do.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> “My take on it is this,” Case offers. “As a guitar player, I’m in Heaven working here. And if we can build guitars that make other players just as happy, then we’re doing our job well.”</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #161616; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
