Description

"CME Spec" Series

Chicago Music Exchange’s relationship with Gibson Custom Shop reflects a shared philosophy—individually crafted guitars, built by hand. Before each new “CME Spec” Custom Shop batch goes into production, our guitar gurus join forces with Gibson to select new top woods, finishes, fingerboard materials, neck profiles, pickups, hardware—you name it—everything that goes into each “CME Spec” guitar. But, while there are a few visual hallmarks that can help any customer distinguish “CME Spec” models from the rest of our Gibson Custom Shop options, there’s also much more to each “CME Spec” model than meets the eye!
