Anyone try the new Les Paul Gothic?

[some_dude]

I'm wondering where it sits in terms of quality?

Pricewise it's cheaper than a regular studio but more expensive than a faded.

I want one, so I can put hot pink pickup rings and knobs on it, as well as a switch tip.

I've got one of the old Gothics (the original run). It sounds good enough, but the reason its cheaper is because it's thinner than a standard or studio (I reckon about 2/5 - 1/2 inch), and the finish - while comfy on the back of the neck - is'nt really up to standards. It dents or scratches off very, very easily. Which is why mine looks like it's been on the road for quite a while (and I'm just a bedroom jammer).

I'm 100% serious.

Bonus points for neon green pickups.

I like the guitar, I just wish it had a the Gibson Pearl inlay instead of the cheapo gold silkscreen logo.
