I have a 1980 Gibson les paul lp xr-1 in blue color, I have contacted Gibson and they tell me it is a real one but don't have any records back that far. The internet does not have much info. on these other than they were the preclude to the studio and made from 1981 to 1983. here is my problem, mine was made in Oct. of 1980 and the letter badge LP XR-1 is smaller and I can not find another in blue. Can anyone help me here with value, LPXR-1 badge with small letters and blue color, thanks
