NUCLEAR YELLOW!!

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.
