The guitar by which all others are judged. The definitive growling sound of Rock and Roll owes it's exisitence to Mr. Paul, whether equipped with humbuckers or P-90's. Les Paul is just another way of spelling Rock and Roll.

the Gibson Les Paul guitar went into production in 1952 and was the first solid body electric that Gibson had made. And they still make kick ass guitars like the 2 Seymour Duncan Alnico II pro humbuckers which cost like £75 each slapped into a Gibson Les Paul Custom which Slash has. Gibsonmade a couple and were made from 1996 to 1998. There were a total of 73 made; 75 If you count the 2 Slash owns. Many people around the world admire the quality of the les paul from its crisp sound maximum quality body & neck. Many rockstars use or have used the les paul like; Slash, Joe perry, Jimmy Page, Duane Allman, Brian May, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Duffy, Jimi Hendrix, Billy Gibbons, Peter Green, Keith Richards, Jeff Beck and loads more. in my opinion and many other peoples the Les Paul is much more than a guitar its a treasure wether its a studio, standard or custom its still a les paul

A single-cutaway guitar made famous during the classic rock era. Unfortunatly, most modern players simply take advantage of the fat and muddy sound of the humbuckers to mask their lack of skill.

The greatest guitar ever made. A normal Les Paul has a maple, single cutaway body, Plated humbucking pickups, 22 frets and a rosewood fingerboard.
Guitar player 1: Hey man, I got a Fender Strat
Guitar player 2: That is pathetic compared to my Gibson Les Paul.
