Paint over??? hmmmm
Starting At $5,999
The 2017 Les Paul Standard "Painted-Over" Series blends the minute details, iconic look, and seminal feel of Gibson's most inspiring solid body guitar with a refreshingly defiant, roughed-up and weathered aesthetic that's been hand-crafted to make each guitar its own one-of-a-kind work of art.

I will stand corrected but were gibsons back in the day refinished the same way Fender did cover one colour if dealers wanted a different colour.
Look horrible

Either way, it's scraping the barrel of trying to keep the collectors buying *anything* new
But this looks the worse mess I've seen on a GIbson - granted they've made errors in the past, be it guitars we might now label as cool but at the time flopped - But this is just appalling - Who's idea and who authorised it - Gobsmacked to say the least
I can under stand an aged version - be it a Marmite issue - but this is a no no for me
edit: I'm thinking that Gibson are really trying to alienate some. Why they cant just make a well designed guitar that appeals to more than those who earn megabucks. Sad really sad. The price puts people off, and I want a new guitar to look new, not abused.
6k!
That actually looks pretty good, unlike those Gibson things.
People are reacting like Gibson has insulted their mother.
i think most Gibson finishes would leach through more obviously than these examples. They look too clean and photoshopped

Agree that was my first thought on seeing this and the new DC threads, either Gibson are boring and making the same guitars they have for 60 years and are out of ideas or they are spending too much time releasing new models when all people want is the classics
