Verdict
These Gibson Custom Color Series Les Paul Standard models offer some nice nitrocellulose colour options to the fairly standard USA-made guitars.
I’m guessing that Gibson is finally catching up with brands like Fender who offer new colours frequently on their ranges of guitars. Nice to have new colours, but the guitars themselves are all pretty much the same as before specification-wise, I do like some of these new colours and I guess a lot of potential new owners will too.
