A piece of the history of Les Paul guitars ...

Les Paul In 1939, a guitarist named Lester William Polfus, known popularly by Les Paul, builds a prototype guitar. When he took the prototype to Gibson in the early 40s, like many inventors of his time, was ridiculed, called something like "the guy with the piece of wood with pickups." However, around 10 years later, in the early '50s, when Fender began mass producing solid-body guitars (which had not existed, the guitars were acoustic or semi-acoustic), the Broadcaster designed by Leo Fender , the story changed. Gibson came in contact with Les Paul, and in 1952 began producing the guitar designed for him by Gibson and ridiculed 10 years ago. Those first guitars had the painting in gold and so were called Gibson Les Paul GOLD TOP. By then, most famously, popularly known and best quality is produced by Gibson Les Paul. There are other manufacturers such as Epiphone, owned by Gibson, in the case of Les Paul instruments produce lower cost. Like the Epiphone Les Pauls have Ibanez, GTX, Encore, Gianini, Finch, etc ... Here we talk about the Gibson Les Paul and some produced by Lutiers related to Slash. It's a guitar quite luxurious in terms of detail and elaborate construction, is more luxurious than another myth of the Fender Stratocaster guitar, which in no way diminish the other because this is another instrument, which has its particular sound, your soul .



That was just a piece of history that is too long
