Just got an email from over the Atlantic about a "strange" 1968. I just received some pictures, and it is really neat.
Not 100% condition, as it has a refret and what looks to be some overspray on the neck, but it is SUPER early.
975xxx serial with a crown headstock, logo-less truss rod cover.
To some of the uninitiated, 99% of LSLP's follow a pattern of shipping order like this ---> 500xxx-565xxx-800xxx-896xxx
There are mere handful of guitars with a 985xxx, and I believe I remember an LPC with an 894xxx that are actually July or possible June '68 guitars. This one, with a 975xxx is by far the earliest serial I have seen. The shipping dates aren't one-to-one with serials, but a 10,000 unit difference implies that this really is earlier than the 985xxx guitars.
After this gentleman purchases the guitar (IF he does), I will ask to post pics
PS - MONSTER NECK, this things heel is the size of a Cadillac.
