Various long scale Gibsons were listed as 34 1/2" but (like most 24 3/4" Les Pauls) that includes estimated compensation. Several I've measured were all 34 1/8" uncompensated.

The length of my Lull is not something that I'll share with you here, even tho I like you all, you just don't need to know that much about me  8)

 

You've got some large hands Mark.  You know what they say about large hands......

According to Henry J's post on the My Les Paul forum, the custom shop was not flooded.

I'm in if it's unreasonable too!!! : - )

A small rin CS reissue of a historic model would be really something.

I don't expect any new runs will be a priority for Gibson under the circumstances. If the flooding delays their regular production too much, it wouldn't surprise me to see some of it shifted to the custom shop. Especially the more expensive production models.

That's not surprising. At least they have a target date, not just an indefinite suspension.

I guess Lull basses will never be a big hit in Holland. The bassist of a befriended band played one for a while and he was continuously the aim of lots of jokes.  :mrgreen:
