1999 Gibson ES-335 in bronze finish

Couldn't find any information about the unusual bronze finish of this 1999 Gibson ES-335, is it a custom shop product, a variation on a goldtop? I just find it beautiful, and it's good to look at nice photos of ultra-classic models!

Customized Keytone ES 335

I'm usually not a fan of paint job on guitars, and even less of fake battered looks, but I like this one for some reason... Maybe because it is the crossing between some patterns I like, the Rising Sun Japanese  flag, the Union Flag (as seen on the Epiphone Supernova) and the bizarre Art Deco rays seen on an Orfeus bass...

I know nothing of Keytone guitars, if someone knows more, information is welcome...

1967 Epiphone Riviera 12-string

I'm also a 12-string guitars lover and this Epiphone Riviera is an extremely lovable one! This is not the first ES-335 12-string we've seen here - there was a Gibson, a Kapa, an Ovation... - but this one in dark natural finish is quite something. 

It's been produced in Gibson's factory in Kalamazoo in 1967, at the same time Gibson was selling a similar model, but actually at a cheaper price!
