Does anyone remember the limited run of Oak Les Paul Customs the Custom Shop produced back in 2003?

I seem to remember a flood or storm took the tree out and thus the run was born ?

275 year old Tulip Poplar tree , and the hickory wood from a Poplar tree . 1998 Tornado took trees out. President Andrew Jackson name is inlaid on the headstock and his nickname "Old Hickory " is inlaid on the Hickory fingerboard .The inlay of the Hermitage Mansion is inlaid on the pickguard. Inlays are made of mother of pearl . There is an inlay of mother of pearl going across the body of the instrument noting important dates in President Andrew Jackson's life .

Thanks for the links. I was originally talking about the Oak/Korina model.

The Old Hickory…I forgot about that one. There’s a few different versions I believe.
