You might be talking about Larry Allers, Gibson's Chief Engieer. Problem was in '66 he was no longer working under Ted McCarty and the shots were being called by the bean counters who took over CMI in '65. The guy you want shot was the same who gave us the Les Paul, ES-335. Hummingbird and some other non too shabby instruments. Seems to me he was a flippin' genius.
