I'm sure if Greg Lake asked for anything from Gibson in the seventies, he got it pronto. He was leading bass polls at the time together with Chris Squire. Wasn't his Jazz Bass a maple board too? He probably liked the attack of those. I know that he was a guest at the Gibson plant when they were deliberating between the double- and singlecut Ripper.

I follow Lake on his Facebook page and sent him an email asking about his Ripper. Who knows, maybe he'll see it and respond.
