What model is this being used on? Are they doing a 52’ Reissue Anniversary model? Or are these badges being put on all “R” models as an anniversary for Gibson

I ask because , although i love all the old LP’s

This year had issues with the neck angle and the bridge?

I think that it's on all Gibson Custom Shop LP models that have a toggle switch (except the SG Les Paul by all means).
Saw it on a 2022 R9 and also on 2022 Murphy Lab.

I'd love to have one of these plates! I was born in 1952, so it'll have a little bit of a special meaning!
me too ! (1952...)

p.s. too bad that Edwin and Rick are not there anymore; they would send us both this 2022 plaque. (for our constant appreciation of their products)

My favorite switch cover is the 60th anniversary with the industrial diamond chip which the other day in night lighting really shone like never before and I was like wow ! Plus how it sits on the big diamond outline . I know I sound corny .
