Ultimate Historics?

Assuming for a moment you could put most, if not all, the most desirable features Gibson’s Custom Shop has ever offered into just one or two historic Les Pauls, what would those guitars be like? Now I’m not talking about features only found on vintage guitars, that we'll likely never see again on a stock Gibson guitar, I’m strictly referring to those offered by the Custom Shop and put into stock historics. How about these appointments:

Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard
Murphy painted
Murphy aged
Beautiful handpicked Eastern maple top
Handpicked lightweight mahogany
Great tone
A neck shaped using a vintage ’59 as the template
Full documentation for all the above

Here are two such guitars, back together once again:



Here's hoping my GAS pains are finally behind me (where they belong)!
