Gibson "Double Gold" color

Hey!

Can anyone explain to me why Gibson now uses the "Double Gold" finish designation for many (or all?) Les Paul Gold Tops?  At first, I could not see any differences between the two, but now when I look very closely, it seems as if the Double Gold has a (very attractive) subtle greenish hue that is not seen on older guitars.      

Any comments are greatly appreciated.

I hadn't noticed this until you mentioned it. I've just had a quick check and it does appear slightly darker, though its hard to tell from photos. I think I prefer it anyway. 

It looks like regular Gold is still being used on the USA LPs, with Double Gold for the Custom shop models.

It looks like they're trying to give it a head start on looking old without dragging it across the parking lot and charging extra for it.

Steve is right AFAIK.
