I finally got someone on the phone at Gibson today - been trying for awhile - and confirmed my serial number and description as a first year model. They could not tell me how many Elegants they made in 1997 but he said very few were produced due to the amount of "hands-on" labor.
Do any of the experts here know production totals for these Custom Shop guitars? This one is practically hollow with huge chambers on either side of the bridge going all the way up and the sound is unique. I've never heard one quite like this but the tones are great and very usable in my live shows. I'm running it through a TSL 2-12" combo or a JCM800 full stack depending on the venue and its great through both.
Thanks.
