Hi Dean and welcome aboard.
That sounds like an interesting model LP. I'm not familiar with it at all. I'd love to see it if you have any photos of it.
Hello all! I am new to this forum. Glad to be aboard!
I am 53 yrs old and have been playing guitar for about 40 years. I used to have many, many guitars, but have settled on one. A left handed '71 gibson SG standard. If you follow Gibson's history, you'll know that this was a crappy year for gibsons. I guess the necks were breaking at the body joint on a lot of SG's so they removed the neck angle, made it completely straight - like a tele, and to make matters worse, put the control cavity on the front instead of the back. However, the neck is completely awesome on this thing and many years ago I ( gulp ) installed a whammy on it that works extremely well.
Recently I got into building my own guitars and have built a jazz archtop, a Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion replica, and a Gibson Les Paul TV replica. All lefty's like me.
I use an old Musicman RD50 amplifier.
That's it folks!

Ha! Tele-ish now inbound.
Hey Dean: Another fellow Cannuck. I live in St. Catharines. What part of Muskoka are you located? Of course we have been in your area for summer vacations. I am also an SG owner. I have a 1968 Special, a 2007 Epi G400, and I just bought a 2004 SG standard last Friday.
I really hadn't noticed the 71s were any different. Now I do. To say the least I like SGs but I have lots of other Gibbies and Fenders.
Welcome aboard.

Spud-- I bet you are familiar with it. I think Dean's referring to a Les Paul Special (or perhaps Junior), in TV Yellow. Although we can't tell from his post whether the one he made is a single cut or double cut.
Dean-- welcome! There are lots of Canucks here. And let's see pics!
