This is a hard color to photograph, it's actually a very deep purple, but it looks black on pictures. Great guitar pretty much perfect right out of the box. I will add locking tuners like I always do, but that's purely personal preference. The pickups are the 61 Burstbuckers and they sound great. Very PAF in output but fuller/mellower than say, a Duncan 59. 60's neck feel great, a bit different than my Classic with the same profile, but very comfortable nonetheless. Very happy with it.
HNGD, I had to look it up on the Gibson site to see the color, pretty cool color. I was curious about those pickups, especially because bleedingwhiskey has a set for sale
