Samick LP Open Book Headstock

George Walker

Open Book HeadstockThe "Open Book" headstock was used occasionally on Samick brand guitars through the '80s, and from 1988-1989 (and early 1990), was used in their US/International lineup. They stopped using it abruptly in 1990, the same time Epiphone did, suggesting Gibson became aware at that time, and didn't even want Epiphone's use to encourage or imply to other manufacturers that it was okay to use. However, because Gibson's trademarks are not upheld by Japanese law, the Open Book headstock could be used on Japanese market models.
