No, I'm not planning to sell it. I just asked the question because I wanted to know the difference between a guitar made as a production line (between the time it was first manufactued as a production line and discontinued as a production line) and a guitar made after it was discontinued (not a reissue of the production line, rather just a guitar that is no longer a production line as those guys at Gibson puts it). Let's say a limited custom shop Gibson LP was introduce in 1995 and was discontinued in 1996. Then a Custom shop Gibson LP of the very same model came out in 1998- when it comes to collectors who buy limited edition guitars, which will be more valuable? They're the same models. The only weird thing is that one
was made after the model was allegedly discontinued.

but i'm not talking about vintage reissues. you see that's what I thought too when the guy at the customer service said that my Les Paul ES could have been a "run" ordered by a specific dealer because it is a 2002 and the ES has been discontinued since 2000. I thought he meant that my Les Paul ES is a reissue of the production line Les Paul ES that was already discontinued when he said this, but when I emailed him about it, he said that my ES is not a recopy or a reissue. He said it's a real Les Paul ES- only its no longer a production line. This is the statement that I am confused about and I was wondering whats the difference- the fact that a guitar, that is not a reissue exists after the alleged model has been discontinued two years before it was made! mind boggling isn't it?
