Ran across this brochure today. Gonna look good hanging in my music room.

Nugent has a thin body LP with a Byrdland scale neck, the stop tailpiece is extended down about 6" (like a trapeze tailpiece), an uncovered regular humbucker in the bridge and an EMG in the neck. Iirc, it was made in '87.
Did if you make it?
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?
Thanks guys!
Some say I should write a book, but who has time for that?
Much more fun sharing here on the LPF.
Here's one to close out the year.
Hope everyone has a fantastic 2017 :salude
Single P90 Customs aren't that rare nowadays,
but they were in the 80's.
This is the only one I've ever seen with the
tone control in the Rhythm Tone position.
Where is it now?

Looks like you found one in the wild Strings! That's pretty cool. Hopefully more will find this thread and claim their guitars! :salude
Fantastic thread, thanks so much for your contributions! :jim
Did any lefty guitars pass thru your hands, including anything for EE? :hmm
:salude
Thanks again for creating one of the best guitar threads to ever pop up on the 'net!
Fun thread! Thanks, Randy, for doing all this! Did you build any of the Les Paul Artist guitars? I have an '81 I just picked up.

Would you be responsible for my Leo #0336?Oh, I loved my Leo's. Thanks for bringing them up. It gives me an excuse to look back through my ledger to check serial numbers and dates. Each time I do I find something I missed before, like "hey there's another Spotlight I missed, or there's another Korina Explorer I missed".
Your Leo WAS an early one. Built in Kalamazoo. The Nashville built Leo's started with serial number L1 0300. I built that one on December 22nd, 1982.
The highest serial number I built was L1 0461 on October 10th, 1983. So maybe safe to say around 200 were built in Nashville?? I have 48 serial numbers recorded that I built, including L1 0414 which is the only one I have listed as having an Antique Sunburst finish. Where is she now...
Thanks!
