It would be cooler if it had a staple/P90 combo.

Re: gorgeous Classic Custom
I love the red on that top. I saw a used one on ebay and thought it looked fantastic.
I don't know, I like the baked maple idea. Some models just look better with a brown board.
The inconsistencies in the colour is a little odd. I assumed it's the process used to bake the board that does so differently with each piece of maple. If they died them it might be more consistent.
For this model I would MUCH prefer it died black to look like ebony. Not to fool anyone, just because I think black would look way better with the red, white, black and chrome. Even if it was a real rosewood board, it would look wrong.
Or they could have used Obeche for this Classic Custom. I haven't owned an Obeche board so I can't compare it in detail to ebony, but it sounded good and played very well on an LP Studio I tried.
Speaking of Gibson using cheaper stuff, anyone check out the LP Traditional Bigsby? http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Ele...l/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Traditional-Bigsby.aspx
Take note of the type of Bigsby: B70 - that's a licensed version in case you weren't aware. The difference in retail pricing is what, $40 at most? You're telling me people wouldn't pay the extra $40 on a $2000 guitar? It's a "Traditional" Bigsby for **** sakes!
Ugh.
I've read that the B70's are machined better, but still ... "Traditional"!
