| | Gibson Les Paul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Gibson Les Paul signature model is among the most recognized solid-body electric guitar designs. | | | Discussions with Paul were on the fitting of a maple cap over the mahogany body for increased density and sustain (which Paul wanted the other way around, but according to Gibson the guitar would become too heavy) and the tailpiece. | | | The Les Paul is available today in a baffling array of past and present variants, and has been played by a good portion of the most important guitarists of the past half-century. |

| | CNN.com - The man behind the electric guitar - May 28, 2002 |
| | The facts are that Les Paul did invent an electric guitar-- the eponymous Gibson Les Paul, the instrument of choice for rock 'n' roll axemen for the past 50 years; did create a host of innovations in studio recording; and did play with Reinhardt, Crosby, Sinatra et al. | | | Maybe it's embroidering the facts to say that with his innovations in multi-tracking and recording technology Les Paul created the modern studio recording. | | | Paul says guitarists are far better now than when he was at his peak in the '50s, but he says that in an era when you can buy cheap electronic pedals to synthesize any sound, it's a mixed blessing. |

| | In 1968, a second generation of single-cutaway Gibson Les Pauls was unveiled, including the Deluxe, reissues of earlier models, and later, the low-impedance Les Pauls: Personal (1969), Professional (1969), Recording (1971), and the semi-acoustic Signature (1973). | | | As Les Paul, he turned up on a number of "race" records with blues singer Georgia White, playing piano and guitar. | | | The records were hits, but the bright promise of Les Paul's career was dimmed by the intervention of fate. |

| | Blogcritics.org: The Many Lives of Les Paul |
| | Paul's personal stage guitar, while still a Gibson Les Paul electric, is not one of the highly desired 1950s versions. | | | Paul says that in the 1950s, recording studios (perhaps via record labels or the various musicians' unions) had created a rule that stated that if a musician was within 35 miles of a legitimate recording studio, he couldn't make a record without a professional recording engineer from a studio there. | | | Another duality: the genre that Paul's guitar would come to dominate, rock and roll, which also exploited the potential of his mulitrack recording theories the most, and bought his guitar by the thousands, significantly damaged Paul's recording career, putting it into a slump for much of the 1960s, until the mid-1970s. |

| | The Ultimate Les Paul - A Stringkiller guitar review |
| | By 1980 Gibson started produced the Les Paul Heritage series and then went on to produce Historic collections from 1992 to the Les Paul Standard reissues a year later, I think this was after guitar shops like Guitar Trader in New Jersey ordered a batch of reproduction Les Paul Standards. | | | On my Gibson Les Paul Classic there weren't any covers and as the pickups were quite high (I will be experimenting with the height over the year) once in a while the top E string would get caught under the pickup. | | | The Ex Peter Green Les Paul is a 1959 LP Standard, not a 1960 model and the neck pickup has had the magnet turned around inside the pick up, as well as the whole pickup turned around and installed the opposite way to a standard humbucking guitar. |

| | Les Paul |
| | By 1950 Paul had also secured a deal with Gibson to market the "Les Paul" model solidbody electric guitar; the guitarist had approached the company much earlier after the refinement of his "Log", but shrewd business minds resisted the idea until it became clear that it was a commercially viable 'product'. | | | While in Los Angeles Les Paul began his association with Bing Crosby, who not only featured Paul and his trio on his radio program and several of his records, but also became one of the key supporters of the guitarist's experiments in recording technology. | | | Having come into the possesion of a captured German tape recorder, Paul quickly elaborated on the basic design and created a device that allowed him to layer (multitrack) parts; the first public result was the complex, eight-guitar piece Lover, released by Capitol Records in 1947. |

| | Gibson Guitar Wins Paul Reed Smith Trademark Case |
| | Gibson claimed that Paul Reed Smith began production of its “single cut-away” guitar called the PRS “Single-Cut” in January 2000 to market a guitar that looked just like the Gibson Les Paul. | | | The claim involved Gibson’s Les Paul single cut-away guitar with a body design that Smith used without permission or compensation to Gibson. | | | Included in the claim is the fact that the Paul Reed Smith model unjustly used the Les Paul design and would cause confusion in the marketplace and damages to Gibson Guitar, the amount of which now will be determined in the next phase of the proceedings. |
