An alternative view on the 2015 Gibson line up

Re: An alternative view on the 2015 Gibson line up

The 2015 Gibson Les Paul Supreme is one fugly guitar. I believe Gibson is moving away from common sense and reason to an unrealistic business stance. For me, a Supreme WAS a great example of what a Les Paul should be. Instead, they added F-holes and a floating jazz style pickup in the neck position. I am glad I bought mine while a Supreme is.......well......Supreme.
My highly modded 2012 Gibson Les Paul Supreme.......Seymour Duncan 59/JB, gold pickup surrounds, Wilkinson roller bridge, Kahler brass stop tailpiece, TonePros locking studs, Schaller pickup selector tip and strap locks and vintage control knobs.

How do you swap pups on that when there is no electronics cavity in the back?

I think the jack plate hides a hole that is big enough to put pots through, and the switch comes through the neck pickup cavity?

Nice. Like those golden pickup surrounds. Classy.

Well, I don't have that coin.

Obviously it is expensive but that is not why I posted it. Look at the "flame" by the bridge pickup. Maybe it is a heart, but when upright it might look like something else.
