I do not have a LP from the first batch, the 5 digit series starting with 08749, but I have one from the 2nd batch the ones with 011174 thru 011193. The third batch not noted in the Red Whale article appears to be the 012xxx series with 012095, 012104 , 012121, and now yours. It is very likely there were some produced before the Red Whale but I have not seen any evidence so far. We do know there were some made with "Les Paul" screened on the headstock.You’re welcome, I love this stuff. Do you own any from the first batch?
