Contacted my local Gibson dealer to make an inquiry to Gibson CS about a M2M build.

I asked for a particularly large neck (1.1" @ 1st fret) with a V shape: Gibson CS replied, no can do. I know guys with LPs that have that profile from the factory so I know it has been done ... not to mention 1957/58 models with serious baseball necks.

Are you limited to what their CNC machines are programmed for? Don't they have people who can profile a neck to order?

What's custom about the Custom Shop?

Rant off.
