I don't think he used the Rick Turner custom one until the summer, August in fact, for a short run of shows if pictures tell a thousand words. The east coast part of the spring of 71' March and April was that Sunburst Les Paul.
I count no less than 5 different guitars in 1971 all documented by photos:
