    There's one popped up on facebook, in uk guitar gear exchange. The description is a bit ambiguous, 2012 Gibson LP traditional in Tobacco Faded sunburst?

    Cheers - just put a request in to join the group, It won't be a 'faded' though, they stopped production in 2009 (I'm an expert as of yesterday thanks to @bodhi )

    They did actually make limited runs in 2012 (and again in 2016).

    But IMO the tops and finish on the 2012's looked strange compared to earlier years - a bit bland, not as much character.  Kind of strange tea burst brownish colour (strange in comparison, fine in itself).

    And then there was that laminated fretboard issue which afflicted Gibson at the time.

    Some of the 2016's looked pretty nice, though.
