Mind's gone blank...

Can anyone help me? I'm desperately trying to remember the name of a (I think) Gibson guitar, which I definitely do know, but I can't remember for the life of me.
It's like a reversed version of the Firebird/Thunderbird, but it's definitely not the 'Non Reverse Thunderbird' model. Does anyone have a clue what I'm talking about?
If I remember any more details, I'll let you know.

i'm not a big fan of the RD guitars, but the RD basses are kickass.

I kinda like the Silverburst reissue.. Doesn't come with the moog electronics though.

I'm not crazy about the electronics - didn't even know there were reissues.

I don't like silverbust btw...anyway I think a full scale gibby is something nice...Lee Ranaldo had one in red, it was very cool IMO, then it was stolen.. :-\

I've spent a good few years getting a nice set of gear (not the best, but it'll do) and now I'd really like to buy something just for the pure aesthetics of it - does anyone know any other guitars that have a similar style to this? I used to love Firebirds but I'm not bothered about them anymore.
