Oh dear, what now?

Spotted an NAMM recently on the Why? stand was this monstrosity. Any guesses? It looks Les Paul juniorish but it has what appears to be an ash slab body and a neck with a maple finger board. I think you're right, this is some sort of a mutant Gibson but the P90's with a Tele shape pickguard and that hard tail Strat type bridge they used on the Nighthawk.? oh no, I've just noticed that it even has a B-Bender. Surely this isn't to be part of the Gibson line, it has to be some kind of prototype from the workbench of an apprentice. Come on Gibson, we love the old Les Pauls, the ES semis and the big jazz boxes. I suppose to be fair some people even like an SG but give us a break with all these pathetic inventions.
