Flood anniversary

The month of May is looming ahead. If you work for Gibson, you'd probably be overwhelmed by the Nashville flood flashbacks; the death of so many Gibson guitars is simply too much. But on the contrary, Gibson had made it a point to remember the flood by having the Flood Anniversary LP Studio (available in green or blue swirl) whose swirl design was actually the product of the flood water mixing with the factory paint & left to dry as the water receded. Gibson fans are debating over the USD2,389 MSRP in the mean time.

Echoing Ijau, interesting color scheme, can I get the economy model?

Gibson fans are not a greeable with the sales pitch for this one; it's a souped-up Studio with negligible tonal differences (against the standard Studio). the regular model lists for USD1.7K so the MSRP for this model is excessive. does the swirl alone justify tha much price diff?

they spent too much R&D money on learning how to do this swirling... so must recoup abit
