I've seen that before, can't remember where. Looks like basically an SG.

Looks like an SG Juinor, even has the single P-90 pickup.

I've been stalking E-bay, as I'm thinking of selling my 1983 Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty, and I'm shocked at how much they are going for. I'll prolly get $2500 - $3k for mine.... Not bad for a $1150.00 purchase 12 years ago...:yesnod:

I don't get it.:confused5:

[Kerrmudgeon]

Is that the one they call the Duntov? :bigears:

Weight releif started in '82. Highly likely your's is a swiss cheese, just like mine.

In 1969 Ecuadorian Company Ltd (ECL) bought controlling interest in Chicago Musical Instruments (CMI) which owned Gibson. The new company was named Norlin. Gibson was Norlin's last musical company asset to be sold off, in January 1986. LP's of this era are typically called "Norlin's"

Mine weighs a hefty 12.5 lbs.... It's solid.

Unlikely, serious.

You'll regret selling it. :slap:

I know... I'm just kicking around the idea right now... I traded my amp yesterday for an SKS and a Ruger p-94, but the Gibson prolly will stay around for a while. It's 30 years old this year, so she's getting up there...

11.5 lbs....Excuse me.
