Dragonpainting on the Telecaster during Studio Stairway ?

[Tea for Tanja]

Just want to know if the painting was removed before or

after he recorded the Stairway solo. Thanks .

He said the dragon Tele was unusable after the paint job, and ended up using the neck on the Botswana Brown B-bender Tele, so that pretty much means the paint job was after '71 and after Stairway.
