Silly question. Of course so it doesn't distort and get all glary when shot in black and white. As if you hadn't known. Dave!

This is the TV Yellow one, clearly, and not a glare in sight! Amazing. Could have sworn it is white, but yet it isn't.






 :mrgreen:

Sure, or it was named TV Yellow after the TV show that Les Paul remembers having for seven years but never actually had at all.

Or because of his 18 month Listerine commercial series that never featured a TV Yellow guitar.

Or maybe it was named after the TV advertising that Gibson never did in the 50s.

And now in "TV Yellow" which is unlike Gibson's color of the same name. More like Fender's Canary Yellow.

On the RickResource Forum, John Hall chimed in that he thought the photos that are available aren't an accurate representation of the color and that it is actually more like the Gibson color.

Olivia's now have all 3 colors on eBay... $13,770 will get you all three. Drool-worthy high-res pics as always.

At first glance I thought the one on the right was light blue, lighter than a Blue Boy. Looking at more photos, you can tell it's green.

Still don't like that "TV Yellow."
