just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
The builder remained anonymous (hence The Stig aka Top Gear) but that's as much as I know

I was fortunate enough to start buying ‘Bursts in the 70’s so I have owned quite a few and kept the two I liked most, right up until 2015. That was after I purchased my third STIGG guitar, my second Les Paul from Guitar Avenue. I now own two beautiful STIGG flametop LP standards and an incredible, beautifully figured blonde STIGG 335. All of these are fitted with original long -magnet PAFs, original looms, ABR-1s and long studs. (in other words the bits that make a difference to the sound). My two Les Pauls sound as good as any original PAF Les Paul (Gold or Sunburst) and as musical instruments the STIGGs play much better. Trust me I really have played an awful lot of originals especially through the best years of US guitar shows!
My 335 is also out there on its own…... BETTER than any Gibson “dotneck” I’ve owned or played and I’ve played a few of those too! Most people who have played mine have turned to me and said “it’s probably the best guitar they’ve ever played”.
So it’s no secret I’m a big fan and will never sell my STIGGS, they’re mine for life so it doesn’t matter that they cost more than most “Historics” - in any case why should I worry? I sold my originals and put £420,000 in the bank - PERFECT!
If you can find one check it out, there are no bad STIGGs……. they’re ALL great guitars.
Looked like a nice lp that's all I remember.
