Help Identify my Les Paul

[justicesanford]

Hey all, new here to SD forum, but i joined looking for help. I recently bought this guitar of a relative, he told me a music store he went to said it was a Gretsch, but i dont believe that... anyway all i can see is the sticker on the headstock that to me reads Lebesque GMD s-41... when i look it up i get no results, thanks for the help

It's certainly not a Les Paul.

It's a Gretsch body shape, but that is not a Gretsch neck or headstock, and neither are the electronics.

Seems 'homemade' and it wouldn't stun me if Lebesgue was just the guy who did it.

The electronics look like Japanese Teisco electronics of the 60's.

Looks like a no name asian-made guitar to me. Definitely not a Gretsch or Les Paul

pardon me, but who is Lebesgue?

Lebesgue is not a known guitar manufacturer. I just meant whoever did it must have made their own little sticker and put it on the head stock. Who knows. Maybe the sticker is a red herring and the original owner just peeled a label off something and stuck it there so it would say 'something' 'anything'.

The out line of the guitar and pick guard reminds me (...somewhat) of the current production Eastwood Airline Jupiter.
