The History And Future Of The Gibson Les Paul Electric Guitar
Published: January 20th, 2010
In 1945, jazz guitarist and inventor Les Paul took his concept for a solid-body electric guitar to the Gibson guitar company. They turned him down and called the prototype a “broom-stick with a pickup on it”.
However, seven years later, the growing popularity of the Fender Telecaster prompted Gibson to introduce the Les Paul as it’s first solid-body guitar.
There are different stories about who designed what when it comes to the first models. However, once the dust settled, the result was a guitar that proved to be what the market was looking for.
In 1954, Gibson released the Les Paul Custom which sold for $325.00 and the Les Paul Junior that went for $99.50. Today, these guitars go for thousands of dollars.
The humbucker (aka PDF) pickup came into use in 1957. Engineer Seth Lover designed them to eliminate the hum and interference caused by single coil pickups.
In 1958, the cherry red sunburst Les Paul replaced the Les Paul Gold Top. The ‘bursts’ have become the most sought after and expensive Les Pauls of all time.
There have been many different models of the Gibson Les Paul electric guitar since it’s release in 1952 including the 2008 Robot model which tunes itself. In December 2008, Gibson took the Les Paul one step further with the introduction of the Dark Fire Les Paul-style digital guitar. The latest Les Pal digital guitar is the Dusk Tiger. What 2010 will bring remains to be seen with eagar anticipation.
However, no mater the changes and inovations, the one thing that remains constant is the Les Paul’s position as guitar of choice for some of the world’s greatest guitarists.

Vintage 1956 Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty Teaser Demo
Published: January 16th, 2010
Here’s a great condition 1956 Gibson Les Paul Custom (Black Beauty) which I will be posting for sale soon on eBay. It is not perfect as it did get played but it is way cleaner than I’ve ever seen for one of these. Note the California “Cal” Girl pink lined case in the backround. From what I gather there were less than 500 of these made that year and less than 1000 total of this model ever made between the prototypes in 1953 until the end of 1956 (they changed to Humbucking pickups in 1957). Send me a message (through my channel page link…just click on my name or avatar) if you are interested. Most of this demo was with played on the “Burn” channel of my Fender Super Sonic amp and I vary the amount of gain (distortion) by changing the amp settings…I start with everything set at 5 (except the volume which was about 3) and then increase everthing as the video goes on and also by “playing” dynamics (how hard I hit the strings) and with the volume and tone controls on the guitar…when I say “treble” position, I mean “bridge” and when I say “bass” position, I mean “neck”. I play it clean at the very end to show that off as well…this guitar is awesome!
I sell lots of used guitars and basses (both here and on eBay…same name there…100% positive feedback) and I’m a dealer for the Mbrace stands and also Thomastik-Infeld strings. Let me know if there is something you want/write me if you’re interested…use the send a message link on my channel page.
Also…Guitars Wanted as I’m always looking for more guitars…I buy/sell/trade ‘em.
The guitar is plugged straight into my same old rig (no effects at all)…a Fender Super Sonic combo with an Avatar 2×12 all loaded with 12″ Hellatone 30’s. Any other questions, just ask…
Here is a link to my current eBay auctions if you are interested…
