"That's "Clunker No. 1", an Epiphone that Les modified so heavily and frequently that he had to put a steel plate on the top to hold the guitar together. Note the bar bridge"
Also know as the log - actually this was the guitar that Les brought to Gibson as his prototype for a solid body jazz guitar and later becaume the Les Paul Model... but as said it originally was an Epiphone not a Gibson. That's why it has no name on the headstock

Nope. The Log was a later development. The Clunkers were entirely hollow body instruments.
DustyValentino said: "Parabar - They made Epiphone Chet Atkins models too."
Dusty, they did (and still do, according to the Epi website)make an Elitist version of the Chet Country Gentleman, but it's called the "Country Deluxe" and Chet's name does not appear anywhere in either the advertising or on the guitar itself, so I didn't count it.
I know: picky, picky, picky!
