The Ultimate Celebration Of Les Paul Elegance?

Some may beg to differ with Gibson's description of the Les Paul Supreme Florentine   24-Nov-14

Gibson describes the new Les Paul Supreme Florentine as the "Ultimate celebration of Les Paul elegance." Are they having a laugh? What do you think? Here's their description of it...

Classic Les Paul lines are upgraded with a sharp Florentine cutaway that mirrors the legendary Gibson archtops, while the chambered mahogany body wears luscious highly figured maple on its top and back. Pear split-block inlays, gold hardware throughout, gold Speed Knobs and a bound headstock with abalone Supreme inlay and gold truss-rod cover complete the look. But this Supreme is more than just a trophy piece: two alnico humbucking pickups--a 490 in the neck position and hotter 498 in the bridge--give you all the tones that made the original Les Paul Standard famous, while a genuine Bigsby™ vibrato enhances the atmosphere. The Limited Run Les Paul Supreme Florentine comes protected in a Vintage Brown Gibson hardshell case.
