I did...and there wasn't a name tag which was a bummer initially. So I figured it must be in another guitar... I opened up my L6-S and found the name tag there. I got my Gibson a few months before I gave away the Yamaha so perhaps that's why I thought that I'd put a name in the control cavity of the Yamaha... I just got them mixed up.

As someone mentioned in their post, there's just enough doubt that I can't be sure that it isn't my guitar... I still think it really might be. I'd go so far as 80/20... who knows, but in any event, this one's "mine" now and it's not going anywhere.

I have some photos buried under a pile of crap that I can check on one of these days. There's a picture of me playing it back in the day... if I can scan and enlarge it I may be able to make out any imperfections and compare them.

JamGuy, this is a great story, and your guitar sounds really really nice!! While I hope this is your old guitar, having the twin sister guitar could be equally as great. It's your guitar now.

This is true... and as I've mentioned, it's not really that big of a deal. It's just a funky odd-ball guitar that I never should have gotten rid of, and it's cool to think (and a part of me really does) that my old guitar is home.
