They did do some aniline on the backs of the Les Pauls, I believe the Beano model had it and it leached into the bindings like the the originals and people complained!
@Jumping@Shadows might have more info?

Gibson seem to be showing how they are getting closer and closer to original bursts with their historic range but how would they realistically look in 50-60 years time? Will they look anything like bursts now?

Hiroshima Burst.
To get back on topic my 2002 R9 has slightly faded over the years, particularly the back and neck. If anything the top has become a little more amber while retaining the cherry sunburst. My 99 R4 looks exactly the same as it did when it left the factory, while my 06 Blonde historic 335 has definitely darkened , but nothing like the amber of older guitars. I suspect they won't change a great deal to be honest.
It has a thicker nitro finish but the wood has not yellowed noticably. Will that be the case in another 12 years, or will any deterioration accelerate?
I think the original guitars had less stable finishes.
