I got one, probably not THAT one, since it has a brass TRC :salude
This one's for Big Al.
Occasionally, a guitar would come through that was hard to let go of. This was one of those.
LP Deluxe with a nice 2 piece top, in Tobacco Brown Sunburst.
Built mid '85.
Where is she now?

@Strings Jr.
You mentioned earlier in the thread, a couple times, those guitars that were "hard to put down." Anything more specific that really caught your attention or surprised you repeatedly over the years??
I built this one on August 1st, 1985. It's a Spirit II XPL.
Sporting a gold Supertune and special pickups from Mr. Shaw,
this was a SWEET sounding guitar.
Sent this one to Chris Hayes, guitarist for Huey Lewis.
Anyone out there own one of these?

What year was that???? MY L5s are '74 and '78, but I think they made them up till the mid 80s. Wonder how many were
built in Nashville?
I recently purchased a 1977 BB custom and also own a '78 and '79 both of which are in the 11lb range but the '77 is under 9lbs!. My question to you sir is, have there been in your experience more examples of these customs being under 10 or 9 lbs.?
Thank you sir, I have weighed it on a couple of scales and I get 8 pounds 14 ounces. I would have to believe that the numbers that the Les Paul Custom were produced from that era, that there are a few them around.IMO, a late 70's Custom weighing less than 9lbs would be fairly rare.
You would think that somebody from LPF would have seen some of these guitars. It's like these guitars dropped off the face of the earth (or went to another country). Great thread.
Can you say BLING?
