1952 Gibson Les Paul

1952 Gibson Les Paul
The Les Paul is Gibson's most popular guitar over their long history and was essentially the company's answer to Leo Fender's massively successful Telecaster. The guitar itself is a solidbody single-cutaway featuring two P-90 single-coil pickups. This instrument was named after and endorsed by the popular and innovative guitarist Les Paul, who was probably the most well-known guitar player in the world at the time.
