Форум гитаристов

Greetings. I live in Russia (in Saint-Petersburg. Its not a capital) and soon i will buy one of Gibson Custom guitars. In your dealers info there is Petroshop LTD as an official dealer in Russia. Here we have the "Muztorg" shop (AT&T trade company, http://www.attrade.ru/ ). This shop had a strategic alliance with Petroshop LTD in 2005, and consume this company (as i know). So, the point is that AT&T trade has become official dealer for Russian Federation (OR NOT?). So, straightly to the point. I want to buy an http://www.muztorg.ru/cat/details/A006276/ (in USD it will be around 5500$ ), but im really doubt genuine or not this Custom is. Also they have an Classic Custom ( http://www.muztorg.ru/cat/details/A038943/ ) guitar, and this two are really much identical. Color of pickups is different, and fingerboard too. But... Im in the middle of doubts. Please help me if you all could, and thanks a lot for any possible solving of my questions. Sincerely yours, from Russia with love.

Hello Evgeniy,

 

Thank you for your interest in Gibson guitars. You can find both models that are advertised under the link you sent us also on Gibson’s own internet page:

 

http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Classic-Custom.aspx

 

http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-Custom/Les-Paul-Custom.aspx

 

By looking at the dollar prices and reading the descriptions on www.gibson.com you will see that the Les Paul Classic Custom made by Gibson USA and the Les Paul Custom made by the Custom Shop are not identical although they share cosmetic features as the Wine Red finish option, split diamond inlay and Block fingerboard inlays.

 

The Gibson USA division as a prestigious maker of guitars only uses tone woods and other materials of the best quality. Gibson USA still manufactures guitars in the classical American way in which each instrument is hand made and a unique piece of good workmanship.

 

At Gibson Custom Shop we use woods and material of even higher grades and pay even more attention to the detail. Our best luthiers work at Custom Shop, and from this division typically come our historic reissues with very accurate historic appointments and guitars that require a lot of handwork (with features as multiple-ply binding around the body or spectacular fretboard inlays) like the Les Paul Custom.

 

If you are curious how the difference looks, feels and sounds, we would suggest to visit a Gibson dealer to play a few guitar from the USA division and the Custom Shop to compare for yourself.

 

We cannot tell you if the guitars advertised are genuine, because it looks like the vendor has copied the pictures from the Gibson website. If you could forward pictures of the actual instruments and the serial numbers, we could give an opinion on the authenticity of both guitars.

 

If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us again or refer to our webpage at www.gibson.com

 

Kind regards,

 

Boris
