The customshop has been around awhile. However the HISTORIC division started in late 1993. The Heritage series was not the first reissues. Many of the dealer reissues predated them.

If you want to keep your scope limited to PRODUCTION reissues, whether it be the Regular Gibson RIs or the Historic RIs, that will keep your hands full, because there is still much work to be done. You have also left out the 30th anniversary GT from 82-83. The Standard 82 from 1982 (Kalamazoo's answer to the Heritage series) the Standard 83 (Nashville's answer to the Standard 82!) The Standard CMT of the late 80s, which was a regular production Standard, emulating the Flametop Reissue.

After we get this done, we can work on the Special Dealer Reissues!
