In the 'Return of the Les Paul' advertising literature and the Gibson Gazette magazine released in mid-1968, the headstock of the soon to be released Les Paul Standard looks pretty familiar. Pearl inlay with dot over the i in Gibson? Check. Kluson tuners? Check. Blank headstock overlay with "Les Paul Model" silk-screen in gold paint? Check. Even the blueprints from April 1968 show a conventional LP Headstock....
So why do the earliest guitars to be sold have a headstock which looks like this?
For decades people have wondered what happened to the silk screen, now we know! Click the link to my site below to find out why!
