What years did Gibson use aniline dyes and where?

[skydog]

Please no flogging; I've done searches and can't find a definitive answer. I know they resumed it's use after a long absence, but restricted it to back, sides, and neck (no tops). Does anyone know the dates involved?

^^^ Yep.
And by Gibson, we're talking the custom shop.

1999-2001 on the cherry. Not sure about after 2001 though, or before '99 for that matter.

The case candy in my old 2010 50thAnn R0 stated they used period correct aniline dye and warned of the bleeding. For what it's worth.
