The 2013 Historic Collection
We are bringing the most discerning players and collectors in the World, the most refined collection of Historic Reissue guitars we have ever had the pleasure to craft. Through milestone achievements that reflect 20 years of a passionate commitment by Gibson Custom’s craftspeople, engineers and players and collectors from around the globe, the 2013 Historic Series of Les Paul guitars is the most “evolved” yet. More details coming soon.
In 2013, Gibson Custom re-introduces the use of single layer rosewood fingerboards into its Historic series of Les Paul guitars. Following the challenge of meeting global standards for the legal harvesting and processing of fine hardwoods from outside of the USA, Gibson Custom returns to its traditional use of single layer fingerboards featuring the finest available materials sourced, not only in accordance with US and international law, but also Gibson Guitar Corp. even stricter standards.
Updates to the 2013 Historic Reissue Les Paul series include the accurate reproduction of vintage Kluson “Deluxe” machine heads as were used on the original 1950s Les Pauls. With proper profiles, performance specifications and quality of materials, these recreations mark significant attention to detail. The original Kluson “Deluxe” machine heads are coveted for their smooth performance, vintage aesthetic and rugged reliability. Only one manufacturer in the world has earned the right to proudly label their tuners as “Kluson”.

Значит в ВОСах 2012 была бутербродная накладка? 
The vast majority of modern guitar joinery techniques employ PVA (polyvinyl acetate), an “advance” of science from the 20th century, that was created to minimize manufacturing time and limit skill requirements, effectively increasing manufacturing efficiencies. Prior to its advent, and for a period dating back thousands of years, animal or hot “hide” glue was the preferred material for joining wood in furniture, art and industry. Gibson Custom is ushering back the use of hot hide glue in its crafting of Historic Series instruments. This truly ancient process requires more time to be taken in the crafting of each guitar as well as more curing time to allow proper drying and adhesion. The result is a better join of hardwoods that prepares each guitar for a lifetime of use, care and recuperation from damage.
The 2013 Gibson Custom Historic series now feature authentic hot hide glue at the neck joint.
One of the many improvements to the original Les Paul design, was the addition of a “sock”; a flexible tubing that surrounded the truss rod cover to prevent rattling within the truss rod channel and allow for an easier installation of the neck spline. In addition, the specification of the truss rod’s washer, which secures the passage of the rod into the neck and provides a brace for the adjustment nut, was changed over the course of years. Finally, the anchor on the end of the truss rod, deep in the interior of the neck, was changed to a flat anchor. All these changes basically allowed the guitars to be built in a more efficient manner.
In 2013, Gibson Custom returns to the original specifications of the 1950s era Les Paul by removing the
truss rod tubing and re-engineering the truss rod, truss rod washer and anchor to its original form. While it’s not a detail you’ll see easily, our goal is to capture the original Les Paul down to incredible detail as much as is possible.
Вот интересно, в 2013 ВОС накладка теперь сингл-леер роузвуд. А какая была до этого? Из двух дощечек в ВОСах?
И далее, в 2013 теперь мы клеим-сушим как раньше в старину, хоть это более долго и затратно...
А как в 2012 сушили?
