And I do believe it comes in Lemon... la
They look good to me so far.

p.s...Main thing that occurs to me about these guitars is, with all the 'bursts in existence that have eye-popping tops — I mean the same 'bursts that threads are frequently started about in the Vintage Les Pauls section of this forum (for example, the Brock Burst, the Cathedral Burst, the Jeff Beck Burst, the Rick Neilsen Burst... basically, guitars that everyone has traditionally drooled over and that have big tops with a lot of color left in them) — anyway, with so many more "obvious" 'burst candidates like that to choose from — "THIS" (meaning the above guitar) is what Gibson Custom chooses to replicate as a CC? WTF? My advice to them is, pick better tops, or lower the price tags accordingly. The only decent idea they've yet had is a Donna CC, and they clearly seem to not be able to rise to that challenge. And this bullshit of charging two times as much (or more) for a CC with a decent top (like the Believer Burst) is ridiculous.

Well, Tom, I sincerely hope that if/when they finally come out with them, that the actual guitars themselves capture at least "some" of the inimitable visual greatness of the original. :saludeThis has been a big disappointment for 3 years. :dang

As an experiment (and to highlight how sad this series is getting), Gibson Custom should advertise that exact guitar in the picture, but without ever saying which actual 'burst it's supposed to be. Under those circumstances, I'd love to see how many people would be able to figure out which one it is under those circumstances. At least with some of the other CC guitars, you at least have one or more visual clues or details to "go" on. But this guitar (going by the above pic, at least), for all intents and purposes, looks to be just — you guessed it — YET ANOTHER BORING, SKINNY-FLAME LEMONBURST LES PAUL REISSUE. I honestly do not mean to (repeatedly) be negative about these guitars, but come on....

Uninspiring.
I'm sure some people (maybe about 250 or so) will find these 'inspiring'.
