My LP Replica is nearing completion

That headstock looks wider than current production more like a Kalmazoo production.
Say 78-79 look great so far.

Those were 3 piece maple neck years.

Gibson didn't return to a 1 piece mahogany neck until 1983 I think.

Is he going to carve the top or just leave it kind of domed? Looks like a Norlin LP - like mine.

Finally ... here are a couple of pictures with the top finally painted. I have others, but I think this is where I want to be:

what body plans did you use? apparently the stew mac one is off. I have one that i got from the mlp forum that's pretty cool. no way in hell am i gonna be doing that one any time soon, though!

[lhrocker]

Not sure what plan was used, but it did come out nice.

[Sinistas]

Wow, that looks bitchin'.

Possibly, as the heel was cut up, it may have been a neck that wasn't meant to be. Still looks cool

After looking at some late 70/early 80's LP's on the bay, it looks like the logo is correct for that time period, which is when this neck was supposed to have been made. The "s" is kinda funky and the"o" doesn't have the space on the top.
