    One of those regrettable passes on my part.
    Was the GC group the only ones allowed to retail it from day one?

    As far as I know... Yes.
    From what I was told by Gibson's sales manager, (when I was trying to find a different source,) the 339 is a Custom Shop build manufactured to GC/MF specs: reduced 335 chambered body, 24.75" scale length, set-neck, output jack on lower rim, NTC, offered in 3-color choices & 2-neck profiles.

    Someday I may have to bite the bullet and buy one from those evil ¡bastardos!... arrrggghhh.
