Re: Crown Inlay on LP headstock??
Yes. It was a feature of all of the Classic Antique models. I have two of the GOTW Les Pauls: the Fireburst, and the Tom Morgan Artist, and there were others. They, and the Les Paul Standard Limited Editions I wrote about earlier, also have a single-bound headstock.
The Classic Antiques were pretty cool, but only lasted a couple of years in the Gibson lineup. Very lightweight chambered bodies, Slim Taper neck and Classic '57 and '57+ pickups. They came in a variety of finishes, but the special GOTW finishes were limited to 400 each. The guitars are very resonant, and sustain well.

Hmm, Mescal. I think I am going to play a bit of Tequila on the Lester this morning. Cactus and pot are two of my favorite things.

I don't get that it looks like holly at all. Or, that's not what holly looks like. Looks like the person writing the description is confused: LPs used to use a thin veneer of holly painted black on the face of the headstock, but I can't imagine that symbol is supposed to BE holly.

Agreed. Holly tree wood was used for the faceplate of '50s vintage Les Pauls (and probably other guitars of that era). I have heard that somewhere in time, this was switched and they now use some kind of paper product, except on the Historic Les Pauls (and perhaps other Historic re-issue models).
Flowerpot.
