Topic: Guitar make and model?

Just picked up a new guitar from the shop, a very old hollow body electric with no sound holes. Have no idea what the make or model is, let alone the year. They told me it may be a Supro, but aren't sure. It's got the body of a Les Paul with a LP looking neck and a horrendous headstock on it along with a tailpiece. Sounds great anyways. But it's in rough shape and I plan on fixing it up and painting it. Will be posting some pics of it shortly, hopefully someone can help me figure out what it is.

You have to forget about what other people say; when you're supposed to die, when you're supposed to be lovin'. You have to forget about all these things. You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven.

No but thanks for the link. It's a hollow body with a tailpiece but looks almost exactly like a Les Paul. As soon as I get back to school and get my digital camera cable I'll upload pics of it. Should be up around the 4th

Also as for restoration, is there anything I should really be looking for, damages wise, etc. I plan on polishing it, etc. and replacing the neck since it's cracked

Good Morning Paw. After reading this topic and answers, I will post a topic about "visualising" a guitar.
