Just like it! But a little darker though that could be the light and the angle.
My wine red LP looks bright under regular light bulbs and darker and deeper under flourescent.

Nice photos!  Thanks for sharing.  That guitar looks really sweet, but I'm still hangin' on to my Lectraslide.  It drips tone.

Guitars: '79 LP Custom, '01 Dickey Betts Goldie - 80 of 114, '00 Chandler Lectraslide
Amps: '00 Marshall 1987x, '70 Marshall 1959 SL, 4x12 JBL D120s
'64 Vibroverb - JBL D130, '66 Super Reverb - CTS Alnicos
'77 Peavey Deuce (great for melting stubborn ear wax)

That guitar is a Gibson Skylark.. Its not a Joe Bonamassa model.. I do have one and play one on many records.. Mine is currently one of three in existence.  As far as I know.. I am like you.. the photo was a surprise... I hope they start making them..

I agree. This is a good direction for Gibson. Staying classic but issuing quality pieces that are unique.
