This is the Honey Burst model. I can't tell you how beautiful this thing is. It's relatively light compared to most Gibson Les Paul's. I can't put the thing down.
It came with a fantastic case. Les Paul style body. The neck is great. It actually flattens out a little as you get towards the body. AMAZING.

I'm using a Blue's Junior with the Bill-M mods(including the presence control and the upgrade output transformer). I'm a Robert Keeley pedal guy, Katana, Compressor, and Keeley Modded Boss Super Overdrive.
This thing sounds great. The hardware on this thing is top notch and really gives the strings great communication with the body. I love it.

The guitar was setup pretty good. It took about 10 minutes of adjusting the intonation(2 strings needed minor adjustments). I don't have a complaint about this thing.

I don't think I'll ever buy another Gibson. I paid twice as much for my Custom Shop SG and I've had it worked on and it still won't tune very well. The Gibson curse.
I've got 13 guitars now and this the best by far. It looks amazing and plays even better. I'm sure I'll buy another eventually, something with single-coils.
It seems like hand-built Japanese is the way to go.
