This caught my sinful eye while checking out Sweetwater's clearance sale. Slightly less exciting with the black pups, but I thought it was interesting to see.

And if your eye causes you to fall into sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.

Collecting for hardware - chrome one to boot - is evil in its truest form.

   Wow chrome hardware, they really went all out. Thanks for listening Gibson  :rolleyes:  Man I hate to be so negative but how unresponsive can they be. I'll be continuing to boycott Gibson in favor of Epiphone.

Hopefully, this was merely an assembly mistake in the factory.  :-X

Aside from the black one Tom posted I've seen pics of a 'Burst one as well - We need to form a product advisory committee, they need help.

That they do. Bill Walence and I thought we had thier ear, sadly we  were mistaken.  If they drag thier feet any longer their market is going to die off.
