Ran across The Government Series (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/gibson-les-paul-government-series-electric-guitar)

Non Rosewood Fretboard :laughin:

AND

Dirty Finger Pickups :roll

Certainly don't want to turn this political but found a little humorous

I like it. I think it would look a lot better with an ebony fingerboard, though against the gov't gray.
That was the "issue", wasn't it? Ebony?
