Think I've found the full specs on the internet archive pages (Gibson website mid 2017):

Not sure these are those. No dirty lemon. I think your link is 2016 spec?

Whitecat

Yeah, that’s not it - they dropped the ‘Historic’ designation completely in 2017 iirc.

Its all got a bit complicated....  They explain a bit about it here..

@Rabs cheers, yeah no kidding. They must operate an obfuscate and conquer strategy. Doesn't help that their website is stuck in the last decade either :-)

Yes that link is archived from mid 2017 but it has 2016 in the URL, apologies

Thank God part exchanges aren't allowed.

Where are all my dirty lemon brothers?

Fox ache. I've been delighted Peach have sold most/all of theirs, and that I've decided I prefer the Iced Tea, and been earning huge brownie points by telling Mrs Snags I haven't splurged two and a half grand we haven't got on a "bargain" guitar, then bloody @DougCoda goes and says they're waiting on a load of iced teas, and I've been reflecting that it's years since I went to Coda, who are only 20 minutes up the road. Bollocks bollocks bollocks. I hate you all. And mostly myself.

Hate to be an 'enabler' but there's also a few in the second batch from Peach

Anyone know if they do these in Tobacco finish? I'd be all over that

Currently it seems not but I think they said more were on the way

Is there a vaping model to help ween the true addicts off these?

Damn you Fretboard!

I threw my toys out my pram a while ago and buggered off.

Today I decide to check out what’s happening here and within a short space of time have spent £2499

no: 87284 is now mine :-)

(the heavy Dirty Lemon one which weighs in at 9.5lb)

Nice one @dbphoto ;That's one of my worries about buying one of these blind. GG don't give weights, and I hate heavy guitars. I've got everything crossed it's a manageable weight.

I like darkbursts too..  But I have to say this darker iced tea burst is very nice

For everyone that's purchased from us, i just want to say a massive thanks. When you all see the 2019 Gibson USA prices next month, you'll be even happier with your purchase! ;-)

roberty

@MikeS The GG photos don't look as colour accurate either, a bit washed out. I was sure I wanted dirty lemon until I visited their site this morning
