A propos de la nouvelle signature Custom Shop de Billy Gibbons évoquée plus haut, dans la Newsletter de Seymour Duncan :
Gibson Custom Billy F. Gibbons Les Paul Goldtop
Gibson and Billy Gibbons have just unveiled the new Gibson Custom Billy F. Gibbons Les Paul Goldtop, featuring Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates humbuckers. 150 will be carefully hand-aged, with 50 played and hand-signed by Billy himself. A further 150 will feature Gibson's VOS (Vintage Original Spec) treatment. The pinstripe design was created by Billy himself and recreated by well-known hotrod-pinstripe artist Rick Harris and a Gibson artist that Rick has personally trained. And this guitar has an additional twist: there are individual volume controls for each pickup, a master tone control governing both, and…that's it! There's no pickup selector switch. Billy requested this so you can dial in the perfect tonal blend on the fly.
