The P-90 version, released this year, has a rosewood board.
The 275 is more of a scaled-down Byrdland, although with a normal scale length (I think).
Probably the nicest new Gibson for a very long time.

Now, I really really like that It goes straight onto my Christmas list. Dear Santa........
btw: Nice fireplace too
Either way, they look stunning and I'd love to try one. While Gibson have come up with some eccentric new designs in recent years (Dusk Fire Turkey XXX or whatever it was) this one would appear to be a wonderful new design that would appeal to those who love the idea of a hollowbody but find the full depth models a bit daunting (and still want something that works just as well for rock & pop styles). I realise the above model is probably not a million miles from the ES330 but it has the higher neck/body join and floating bridge, as well as humbucker options.
And full marks to @Brize for owning the nicest guitar and fireplace combination I've ever seen.
They're fully hollow.
(Or did you mean blinged-down ? )

Either way, they all look like amazing guitars - P90/bucker/burst/cherry/block/parallelogram/rosewood/richlite etc.
I think your P90 would possibly be the pick of the bunch though!
That's the genius of it - by making the body smaller and the scale slightly longer they've achieved a perfect design where the body joint is at the 16th fret, but the bridge is in the right place and everything looks balanced - to the point that it's not instantly obvious that the body *is* that much smaller.
The previous attempt at a 16th-fret joint on a single-cut hollowbody (style - it's actually semi-solid) is the ES135, which because it's a full-size body, should have the joint at the 14th fret - making it at the 16th puts everything an inch too far to the left on the body and makes it feel ungainly and look wrong.
The 275 is possibly the most 'right' looking guitar they've made since the 1960s, in my opinion.
