What's the difference between a LDG "Model" and "SP?"

[Ricky Davis]

LDG"Model" means, for the endorsement to be the correct; original Emerald Green had to be the finish. If it is not made with original emerald green; then It can't have the endorsement "Model" on label; it has to have "SP" under LDG, showing that it is "Special Paint".
Even though this particular LDG does look like a Green LDG; it was custom made when "I believe" the endorsement was over and therefore "Model" was not supposed to be used; as Gretsch didn't continue the endorsement.

Gracias, Ricky!

Yes, 100% Ricky Davis is THE MAN for all Sho-Bud knowledge! Thank you, Ricky! I was informed today by my good buddy Dennis Brown that the changer endplate has been replaced on this guitar, just so we are clear it is not the original changer end plate. I ** updated ** the description. Does anyone have a period-authentic end plate that would match this, if I wanted to restore it?
