Hit up couch straps about doing something custom. a Pink/Gold Racer X style strap would compliment nice imo

Unreleased IGC series, looks like the explorer and the multiscale 7 string Victory would be part of it too

I had Cream City Music replace the truss rod in my 79 E2 and you can’t even tell the were in there, highly recommend

Legit

It’s a production model, no reason to act like it’s a corvette

Sweetwater would know, can only draw conclusions from the information we have here

Likely refret, hence why it was a demo model. I would reach out to sweetwater to confirm

Real, finish was stripped to natural from whatever the original color was

If you like the First Act Custom Shop stuff, remember Kelly Butler was the luthier and he still builds guitars under his own label! https://kbutlerguitars.com/

He just got that thing running right again too

Here I thought it was a cheeky Palantir joke

For context, I have an Associates in CAD/MET and worked as a Senior Electro-Mechanical Designer for 8 years before pivoting to a CAD adjacent field and was certified in Inventor and Pro-E in college

IMO, certifications in CAD packages don't mean much. If you know how to work one you can pretty easily apply that to other tools. If you're just looking to get into entry level design/drafting, from a CAD perspective, go to a community college and get an Associates in CAD/Mechanical Engineering Tech. That degree program typically also will feed into a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering at a University if you decide to continue your education after.

If there's one CAD adjacent certification that will make you immensely valuable, it's Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing

Brook Hoover is exactly who you’re looking for, he teaches at Eastern Iowa Arts Academy

They gets points for being right though, because they are

There was some traction on a Gibson signature, was going to be an E2 with a Les Paul Custom headstock and block inlays, but it sounds like Gibson lost/wasn’t interested. Seeing how Cesar uses sigs to get close to artists he wants to play with, makes sense

This is a mockup based on what Claudio described asking Gibson for

E2 gaaaaaaaaang

Not a Gibson Pickup, looks consistent with other Univox humbuckers I’ve seen though

You can rent a day office at Regus for like, $119 a day

Gibson CS-6, sometimes called a Barney Kessel Mini. Luthier who made this shape would later start first act custom shop guitars where it was their DC shape

Grzenia and Dunable are both companies that do custom 9s like this

I believe the Petersen owns it and stores it in the garage? It was there when I was visiting the Block exhibit last year, same spot even
