This Satin Victory was one of those guitars exported to Japan, but through the help of my friend in Japan, I was able to import it back. The fact it is technically a custom color was a fun bonus! I really like the metallic green color Edit: This has been confirmed to be the one used for the Gibson.com website photo (pre-proto sticker being applied) 0:00 - Intro 0:10 - First Look 0:37 - Comparing Figured Vs.
