This advertisement also appeared as a single sheet flyer in 1982 with fold out panels including the models specifications.
Whilst this guitar replicates many of the original features of the '52 Les Paul (gold top, mahogany neck, SP1 peghead with 17° headstock angle, it also borrows some from the classic '58 (stop tailpiece and separate tune-o-matic bridge, original style PAF humbuckers).
One finishing touch is the special "30th Anniversary" inlay at the 19th fret.
