Looks like it's pretty much the same as before less the pickguard & coil-split toggle switch. Of course, the logo placement is slightly off as well so don't go round saying it's a fake because of this.
I personally won't miss the pickguard. It's an oddity from the look of things & it could only imply scarcity when replacement is due. As for the coil-split switch, Gibson had incorporated it into the volume knob so it's not totally missing. My only concern here is the single coil middle pickup- note the direct mounting. Say you prefer some other single coil to be in there, let's think of which other brand names feature screws through the bobbins.
Price? MSRP: USD2082 & they will hit the stores (in the States) come November. Let's say you want one, it's prudent to hold on for a month, chances are, there'll be yuletide discounts to be had. I won't mind buying one if the price is 'right' :-)

The original M-III pictured there is looking real pretty I have to say.
