Several colors are available
1.) Good. JawBreaker is a jackass and I never liked Gibson guitars. Maybe that means it's the guitar for me.
2.) Bad. No serious Gibson guy would ever .. well, probably wouldn't BELIEVE you that was a Gibson, thought you bought a sticker and put it on a K-Mart PRS or something .. or, if you could totally, completely convince him it was a Gibson .. at that point .. he would tell you to get the hell away from him.

That said, I don't personally get the appeal here either. You can get humbuckers in anything. The Gibson scale length is a massive part of their appeal to me and legacy shapes like the SG, V, and Explorer are simultaneously iconic and refreshingly anti-Strat. The Victory is a superstrat competitor with a Fender scale length...there are companies that do that better at this price.

So sorry.
I've played on tours that crossed oceans since 1982 and .. I never saw no Gibson look like that.
So, this guy is probably lying to be a gate keeper and arbiter of himself being a superior knowledge and ace expert.
There ain't no damn Gibson look like that.
