1979 Les Paul in Walnut - Have you seen one like this?

Strings Jr.,

Thanks for this definitive answer, it's good to see another one too. Yours looks great with the gold. Color me grateful.

It looks like "The Paul Special" on your Truss Rod Cover, would that be correct, (in white), for mine? I wonder how the Heritage 80 TRC got there, considering the time frame involved.

Thanks again to you, Big Al, and Kris for your help.

Axe, I don't think these guitars originally came with a "The Paul Special" TRC. I think the "The Paul Specials" came much later. It was sometime in the late 80's when I built mine and brought it home. I just thought the "The Paul Special" TRC fit my guitar, especially with gold letters. I would tend to believe that yours originally came with the normal "The Paul" TRC.

Reminds of the early 80's Spotlight Special Gibson offerings. Walnut stripes.

I'm two years late and brand new to the forum, but I HAVE THIS GUITAR! I've been looking for years online for one that looks like mine and was starting to think I had some weird, really good knock off. But this is it!!!
