I’ve read that in some examples, there is a lack of treble, almost a muffled tone. Others are fine
I also hope they’ve ditched that OTT yellow binding .
but it just detracts from the overall aesthetic if the yellow lacquer is , well, far too yellow.

*edit* I just realised it was mentioned earlier in the thread. Apologies.
All I can tell you is that, having played many Gibson Custom Shop guitars from all eras, the guitars are better from 2013 onwards, all else being equal. Whether this is the hide glue, removal of the truss rod 'condom' or other changes I don't know, but the difference is entirely perceptible to me and I'm sufficiently unsophisticated that these types of changes generally leave me rolling my eyes.
At present I have 20 Gibson CS guitars, 4 of which are prior to the 2013 changes.
Was PM’d on here offering the guitar that I’m looking for with this pic.

He sent me more pics, we discussed a price we were both happy with, and we were working out how to make it work. I asked for proof of a driving licence and a utility bill which he kindly obliged. I had a busy few days coming up as I was working away so I asked to give it a couple of days before making payment/posting so that I was home when we did the transaction. However, inbetween that time I saw the same guitar on Gumtree. I messaged the seller and questioned why it was for sale on gumtree when we had agreed a deal, he then claimed it wasn’t him selling it and had no idea how this pictures got on there. Cue smell a rat.
I asked him to place the utility bill next to the guitar and send me a picture, he said he would and then went quiet. I chased him up and he messaged back after (conveniently) deciding he was keeping the guitar now.
The search was back on, and I remembered I had spoken with someone on Facebook about one a couple of months before. I traced back the message, and lo and behold - the same pictures of the same guitar! I messaged him to see if he still had it, and I’ve had no reply.
Very strange, I’ve still no idea what’s went on, but just a warning to others. Someone less sceptical than myself could easily fall for it.
is the driver’s license and utility bill photos that he sent…
Did you try and investigate that identity ?
good luck with your search- they’re great looking guitars
