"One-piece fingerboards enhance sustain"
WHAT...?? In 2012, when you were building with two-piece laminated fingerboards, you stated there was no difference or disadvantage as compared to one-piece boards- other than the fact that there were more labor costs involved. Uh...explain(???)...please...
"Cryogenically treated frets are the longest lasting frets ever made"
Longer-lasting than stainless steel frets...???
"Undercut fret over binding lets you fly over the fingerboard"
Are you sure about that? Don't you really mean it's a way to cut labor costs while passing it off as a benefit or "improvent"? And- does this mean the $7k+ Historic Reissue Custom Shop guitars (with the traditional fret ends and binding) are not as playable as these new guitars??
"New Model Year serial numbering system enhances collectability"
What?? Please explain, Gibson...
