Sweet lord, that's beautiful. If Dickie Betts played bass, that's what it would look like. ;)

Looks great. That said, I played one at Winter NAMM Thursday and the neck is HUGE (at least for my small hands). It's noted on Gibson's site as having a "50's profile" and - while it does - the overall size of the neck is so much bigger that it was a tough play.

Also, the body appears bigger than on vintage Les Paul basses.

That said, I took delivery of a lefty T-Bird, burst and it's AMAZING. Much more of a Fender Jazz neck profile (1.5" at the nut) with a "60s slim taper" profile. Fit and finish is good, but will still go to my tech for some fret dressing and set-up adjustments. Didn't play perfect out of the case.
