Bonus: The Search for the 1959 Gibson Shipping Ledger

Earlier this month, Gibson announced a $59,000 reward for the
safe return of their 1959-1960 shipping ledger, a book that, if
it exists, has been missing for decades. If found, the ledger
could shed light on the details of Gibson's production of guitars
during a legendary period of time, including the variations found
on all those famed, uber-collectible '59 and '60 'Bursts.


On this bonus episode of the Fretboard Journal podcast, we talk
to Cesar Gueikian (CMO) and Mat Koehler (Head of Product
Development) from Gibson about where they think the ledger might
be, why they're on the hunt for it, and what they think they
could learn from it. We also hear about some new and forthcoming
Gibson projects, including collaborations with Jerry Cantrell and
Adam Jones, forthcoming Flying V and white SG Custom Shop
tributes to Jimi Hendrix, a Slim Harpo ES-330 reissue and a lot
more.
