Yes, I'm glad he didn't say that and we get that visual/mental image. That was a close one. Glad we were spared....
I suspect those were negotiated into the contract by the Boyz Business Office.
Probably in context with the rock and roll album she recently put out, which I believe was mostly in response to her Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, which she was kind of pushed into.

Wow, that's pretty cheap!
Did you get that at the stadium? I would have been tempted to buy one for that price!
No they were $45 at the stadium. I tagged along with some of the guys to Walmart looking for cheaper Jerseys. Found that and a Stones shirt for $9 each.Wow, that's pretty cheap!
Yup, Rings it is (Didn't get em for nothing other than this bird xD), & thanks @BklynKen, it'll be repainted the same, after all the woodwork is done & sanding. It'll get a flat white base coat, top with gloss red (of some shade), then the tree brushed on again. & sealed all in Gloss as the neck currently is.
Everything is cheap in Texas.Wow, that's pretty cheap!
Yep. But good on her. Not a fan of her music. But I respect her a ton.

- Rogue luthier employed at Knooren Handcrafted bass guitars
Been a while since I owned a Gibson, but this 2015 Les Paul 100 Studio was in dire need of help.
Somebody installed these lights and routing out part of the body to do so.
Yeah, given the size of that backplate, I was under the impression that there was some elaborate circiutry hiding there. More about that later...
Probably the most hated spec of those 2015 Les Pauls: the Robot tuners. The music shop I got the guitar from said that they would like to keep those, since they could use them as spares. I happily took them off right there and then in the shop.
So, about that circuitry behind that big hardboard plate...
CHRISTMAS LIGHTS, I don't know if it ever worked, since there was no connecting to be found that could power them, let alone a battery of some sort. But they were meant to make the instrument light up like a Christmas tree, for real.
Well, I decided to get the lights out of there.
Which I did by using a wooden dowel and tapping that with a mallet. So you can say that I punched its lights out. 
Those carvings you see which expose the maple top is the body's weight relief.
I put it back together as it is now, although I DO intend to make it more presentable.
