Manufacturing States, the model I purchased in 1983 is dated 1979.
22 frets / 3 pickups / tailpiece fine tuning.
2 volume / 2 tone / 1 selector.
Set neck.
Mahogany body, curved maple table (?).
UTILIZATION

SOUNDS

When the micro center is a source of grief for the wiring and the feedback!
I let up a Les Paul because qu'hestétiquement three microphones, it throws, but it is not wired and I removed the magnet!
OVERALL OPINION
I never really used this guitar because of its weight, but it often makes the happiness of musicians who accompany me.

Of all the guitars I've had in 30 years, I kept two: the Les Paul Artisan and my Herve Prudent Gypsum.
Seeing me cost about 6000 francs in 1983, it was almost an investment, especially for an instrument that one does not (at the time, I played on Stratocaster) but when you have dreamed for years of guitar on the cover of "Peter Frampton Comes Alive" (a 3-LP pickups) and you can have the same (and better) ...
