Wow.

It's in case you don't know what colour to buy your Les Paul. Just get it in all of them - apart from the best colour, gold

Rox

The knobs are gold.  You're covered.

You're right! That's me sold. Where do I sign?!

How the f#*k is that a 59 les paul, Jesus Gibson love to band that name round don't they!

I was going to buy it but I will only accept a True Historic in that colour scheme.

I can't believe they Gibson were so ahead of the game, as to come out with that colour scheme in 1959.

I actually really like it, although I like the new Blueberry Burst even more.

+1 - sacrilege.  Why anyone would want or make a paint finish like that is just beyond me.

An ornithologists kaleidoscope of every bird from Brazil, that's 59 enough for them

Shit comes to my mind

Sassafras

Do the colours change in time to the music?

UnclePsychosis

I quite like it but it would be better with headstock that continued the pattern and without the gold knobs that just look mismatched.

It's interesting in a "look what's possible" way, but I'm just going to file it away under "the list of things Gibson's made to try to get us to think they're new and hip".
