Since this variation, at the time, was perhaps Gibson´s most elaborate and ornate (not to mention most expensive) LP, most of these instruments were not played. As a result, remaining specimens are usually in 95%+ condition. A few early models had solid figured maple bodies. Ser. nos. 61-68 were made w/o rosewood parts. In 1978, Schaller tune-o-matic bridge/tunable stop tailpiece replaced original part/design. In 1979, Wine Red finish was discontinued.
