The Gibson Les Paul Artisan is a very interesting model produced from around 1976-1982. It started as 3 pickups coming standard and then switched to 2 pickups around 1978/79 with 3 pickups then becoming special orders. These were based on old Gibson Banjos that had the same 'hearts and flowers' inlays.

While searching eBay, I saw this one and thought it was a great deal on a Gibson... but then found I had been bamboozled by a custom ordered Greco copy from 1980! I like it when I find well-made and good looking copies of Gibson instruments. This is definitely a Greco I would consider owning... same goes for the Orville by Gibson Spotlight Special from 1994.
