Have you seen some of the finishes on the 2018 range? Some of the new(old) ones look great - the Goldtop Classic with P90s already has my credit card twitching (it won't happen).



But the new 'fade' bursts on all the 'high performance' models just look half-finished to me, like they couldn't be bothered to go all the way round with the spray gun.

Still not convinced about the rear-mounted pups on those HP models (I wouldn't touch one anyway but Gibson aren't making them easy to like). I haven't seen any rear-body pictures of them but there must now be a cover plate on the back for them. They'd probably look better with uncovered pickups.

But again with the LP HP, they seem to be making a whole product line that (to me) is going to be pretty hard to shift.
