Hello all,
I was recently talking to a friend of mine who has been in the vintage guitar world much longer than me (I'm 23 year old, been reading and bugging older cats for about 5 years now) and we were discussing the hen's teeth out there. I trust this guy big time, no shady business and no fish stories and he told me of an early 60's LP/SG with a factory stop tail at a guitar show. He said he had a chance to buy it, but he had just spent the last of cash on something else. Anybody seen one? The one he saw he remembers having a crack in the body through the control cavity area.
I've got no photos and can't find any elsewhere, but here's a Reverb listing that's claiming a 1960 Gibson LP/SG, so there are definitely early ones out there. Don't see why there couldn't be a stop tail transitional model.

Wasn't able to find any info on this elsewhere on the forum, but feel free to move/remove if info is available elsewhere.
Thanks!
