Fogerty was the first thing I thought of when I saw it. Back in high school our lead guitarist (I was rhythm) bought a black LP Custom. He was a huge CCR fan and we did a lot of Creedence covers. Needless to say, our guitarist was the envy of every guitar player in town for months and months after that. This was like 1979 and he bought it at Rhythm City in Atlanta. I think it was like $950.00 out the door. Man, I'd love to take a time machine and a few grand back to those days. That was a big notch in the belt for our little band. I remember they gave all four of us Rhythm City t-shirts. I also remember they had a factory purple Marshall stack on display that day.
Congrats on a great looking guitar. Love the goldtop as well.

Oh, and thanks for the flashback.

WANT. Do the filtertrons give it a significantly different sound?

No filtertrons.That guitar has 2 single coil toaster pickups and a PAF in the bridge.
