The reverse V is actually a metaphor for the entire Gibson corporation, which seems to suffer a severe case of recto-cranial impaction.
And that Les Paul still hurts my eyes. I think it's the seafoam green; it's bluish tint is just not my thing.
I like Surf Green. Even thoough I don't surf.
But neither does Charlie...
EDIT: I should also admit that I like the reverse Explorer, though not that Moderne headstock. A reverse Explorer headstock would be okay. I may even build a Rev Ex soon...

I'm sure I've seen an uglier color - but it was probably on a Fender guitar or a jail cell wall. Gibson, for all their faults, generally doesn't screw things up that badly. But, there's always a first time and there's no accounting for taste. I'm sure somebody loves it. Everybody's got a mother, right? <grin>

Okay, here's an update/question for everyone...
The owner said that this guitar sounded really thin, and frankly, it did. I didn't find it offensive, but when compared to other guitars, it was definitely quieter (output, not noise) and had less low end.
So, in an experiment, I took out the original pickups (which seem to be Burstbuckers) and put in some Dimarzio PAFs, a Pro and Joe, if memory serves.
Well, it doesn't sound thin any more, but the guitar is still bright and toppy as anything. It's got new strings, but that's not going to make this happen to the extent it's happening.
It's weird, since these pickups were in another guitar I had and didn't sound this way at all. I put them into the LP because I liked them and figured it would help.
There's no excess electronic gadgetry, it just seems the guitar is overly bright.
Thoughts?
