Rickenbacker also did a Greenglo around the time Gibson did these, they all sold out so must have a target audience

i think Rickenbackers one would glow in the dark, kinda cool albeit gimmicky, House Of Kolor is the only paint manufacture who makes a glow in the dark paint i know of, so would be cool to see if it worked

One day, perhaps this colour, (because of limited numbers) will become very sought after ... :spabout

Even so, really like the earlier pictured CR LP in this finish, but I like CR LP's anyway ... Furthermore, I rather like the look of real Iguana's as well.

Oh decisions, decisions ....

Not Iguana Burst but green nonetheless.
I bought it from a Gibson dealer friend that said that it was a color prototype guitar.
Don't know if the color became available.
I sold it soon after to a guy in Ireland.

I recently purchased a very nice Paul with a Quilted Green Top. I won't insult the forum by posting a picture because it also has Reed Smith on the headstock. I will say that I am a fan of the Gibson Iguana Burst, it's oddly attractive. Cheers!

I actually don't mind it in the abstract - it's something different (coming from a guy that mostly has the stereotypical sunburst/honeyburst type guitars). I'd probably get sick of it and regret dropping a bunch of $ on it pretty quickly, though.

Among the Legends of Gibson there is a strange tale of one genuine green LP Standard from 1958-1960. For real. It actually existed. It was a custom order for Bob Summers, the brother of Mary Ford. It was stolen in the 1960s. The legend states it was a monster flame top...

Seriously. Look it up. It's in Robb Lawerence's book: The Early Years of the Les Paul Legacy: 1915-1963. Boom.
