    Musical merit aside, I guess they are rare enough to warrant being noted, and I've never heard of them being made in that colour. Makes it look a lot more daring than most modern Gibsons -- could almost be a Bussmann special.

    With the recently-discussed modification to a five-string fan-fret, this would be an ultra-cool instrument.

    Elderly currently has one of these, used, FS -- albeit, not a green one.

    I converted my Dean version of this into a 9-string mandola with good success.

    I kind of like the nice, kermity color though.
