That's really nice. Had a goldtop of one of these, was a lovely thing.

Enjoy!

Lovely colour. Gibson should do more fun colours! Hngd.

Yeh, that’s nice!

Very cool looking - fairly unusual to see LPs in that kind of colour. I really like it, especially think the P90s go well with the colour.

That's utterly gorgeous. I'm an SG man myself but the one LP I've ever been obsessed with is the Studio Gem in Sapphire Blue from the 90s and that is as close as makes no difference. Enjoy!

That's a bonny guitar all right.  Congrats.

Hattigol

Fabulous. The Custom Shop did an aged version of that colour which was even more stunning...

Enjoy.

Thanks lads. The plastics on these guitars is usually black but the previous owner added the cream ones and as superficial as it sounds, I think I wouldn't have bought it if it still had the black ones on.

Gibson did a small run of Deluxes in the (IIRC) mid-70s with red and blue sparkle tops. Your guitar reminds me of those. It looks great!

WOW! Looks great. Pelham is a great colour on gibsons.

Those P90s are going to sound great too. 

Good find

I have one in black. I replaced all the chrome hardware to gold to give it a 50s Custom look. I really like the P90s, very gnarly and mine sustains for aaaages. It is a lump though, well over 10lbs I think!

Ive been upping my deadlift reps to get myself gigfit for this one! 
Love the contract of the black with white binding!

It's beautiful, and will look even better if you do the right thing and take the pointless and ugly piece of plastic off, sorry I mean pickguard
