A Gibson electric, introduced c. 1969[1, 2], made until 1985. Built on the Gibson USA line.
Gibson Gazette (S337) says introduced 1969; Guitar World (S352) says it appeared on price lists in 1969 and shipped 1970, and was discontinued in 1985. Wikipedia says introduced 1970 (community). 1969 is most likely the price-list year and 1970 first shipment; recorded as circa. 1985 rests on one press source.
