And they all play the guitars that the rep hands them, not the ones hanging in a store....

no absolutely not true. I asked them for a price quote for a les paul with a walnut back, koa top, ziricote neck and ebony board. they told me 'only a walnut TOP ebony board, mahogany back and neck is possible, or koa top with ebony board, but for example, no korina back. so, no, really, not a customshop, oh, and the price? 65000$. no error in the zero's).

"Who was that on the phone?"
"Some crazy European guy wanted a Les Paul made out of a bunch of woods I never heard of."
"What'd you tell him?"
"I changed all his specs and charged him double my salary."
"Good work! You just made Gibson Employee of the Month."
