I was going to write Bad Fucking Guitar but then I got the feeling that somebody would misinterpret it and be all "HEY ACHTANE STOP BEIN SUCH A NEGATIVE NELLY CMON MAN SOME OF US LIKE GIBSONS".
I'm sorry. It's leftover trauma from other gear forums.
Also Holy Schnikes has the best LP in the world.

HE is the Best.
Was just wondering that the Green One is NOT attracting you.

If you want something a little fancier (and a lot more expensive) you can get the Lou Pallo Signature LP:

i played one of the gary moore bfgs at guitar center for about 15-20 minutes last x-mas eve. the neck was the beefier neck not the 60's slim taper or what ever they call it. the neck was smooth and very similar to the satin finish as schnikes said. les paul studio quality body when you knock on it.
i sorta liked the silver burst one they had out a few years back but i never saw one in person.

Dunno why. It's just...

It's like playing a snake. Or The Matrix. Or the optical camouflage from the first Metal Gear Solid.

In real life, they're dark. A really dark green. Almost black.
I'm probably just dreaming. I'd have to sell my HOG + a bunch of other stuff.

I play with a guy who has one...was never a P90 man before, and this thing convinced me.
The silverburst has actually gotten better with use and age, as the darkened parts of the finish sort of wore off both the front of the body and back of the neck...cool effect.
I don't love much of the shite gibson is peddling these days, but he got a good one, and a good deal on it. Seems like the $$$ is a bit nuts for these now though...

these, the trad pros and the nitro studios are some of the best things gibsons ever done.
get at me if you're looking to buy one new, maybe I can save you some money!
