Oops, sorry. I was looking for it in the text, never looked at the headstock closeup. 

That's the same TRC they used on the HP SG guitars. They obviously had some left over (and probably still do). The Les Paul HP models also had metal TRCs but with the name of the model stamped.

And what is "HP"?

I think it means "High Performance".

Pah, the thing couldn't take a bullet ...

That finish looks better close up, otherwise I dunno why they went back to the 70s turd spectrum.

Despite that it is pretty cool - I'd be interested.

Razors, pantyhose and makeup are a girls best friends!   


Once you try it you'll never go back!

I'm guessing the black knob is 5-way rotary.

I assumed that was the neck pickup blend knob. Wouldn't be the first time a Gibson description didn't match the actual instrument, but these are the controls they describe - "a five-way toggle switch, 1 Volume and 1 Tone control, a neck pickup blend knob..."
