This is on the headstock of a 1979 The Paul? Any cause for concern? TIA

If I’m not mistaken, that triangle is the A in the phrase “MADE IN U. S. A.”

It could also be the triangle of the Free Masons and the guitar could have some association with the Illuminati. It’s hard to know.

But it’s definitely the A from “MADE IN U. S. A.”.
You should have no concerns whatsoever.

Thanks a million for the reply. I was wondering if it was indicating the guitar was a second (if that's the correct term for imperfection).
