I mentioned before that the V90 was documented as being made in a limited run of 600 in the color Nuclear Yellow. Much to my suprise I found one in that color but it is not a V90. Only later did I find out this guitar was in production for one year and was supposedly thought to have just come in black. I've seen a few black ones on the cover of mags but never one in this wild color. I found this guitar at the Guitar Center in Dallas. They told me it was a Custom Shop V ordered from Gibson in '89 that was never picked up by the original customer. They sent it to the Guitar Center in '95 to help clear some inventory. It's a fantastic guitar. What's real nice is the Yellow is bright but not florescent. It turns a dark maroon under a black light.
