LES PAUL GUITAR
AUCTIONS
Gibson guitars have a great sound, and because of that have existed for decades. Their sound quality is only matched by their durability. Guitars fifty to sixty years old are still playing like new. As long as these two facts remain unaltered, the Gibson will always have a place in the music scene.
The Les Paul guitar had two different models to start. The regular model of these two took on the affectionate name of Goldtop while the other was a custom model that was offered in a black finish with a degree of hardware. The pickups, bodies and hardware of the Les Paul kept people playing them.
The Les Paul is known for the way the stings are mounted to the guitar. They are mounted always on the top of the guitar body and not through it like most Fender models. The Gibson Les Paul has been offered in a wide range of ornamental variants, customizable hardware and several electric pickups. The sixty cycle humming that was a problem with older guitars was completely removed by the humbucking pickup available for the Les Paul.
In 1960 Mike Bloomfield, Keith Richards, Jimmy Page and Eric page recognized the quality of the Gibson Les Paul. They are all well known players in the world at the time. They gave props to the thicker and more sustaining sound of the humbucking pickups. Gibson started a revolution in the use of this style of pickup. Many bands made the Gibson Les Paul their guitar of choice following the example of those listed above. Now 1959 Gibson Les Paul can cost from a hundred thousand dollars to five hundred thousand.
Like many guitars, Gibson has changed theirs a lot. A guitar enthusiast will be able to pick out the differences without any trouble. If not into guitars as much, it can be difficult to place any given guitar in a certain year. The best way to do this is to go online. There are many sites that will be able to tell you the make and model of any Gibson guitar. Otherwise you can go into a store and discuss the guitar in person. Doing so will give you a personal appraisal from a professional.
Gibson guitars are no doubt a piece of music history. If you have the money to toss around, and are looking for a top of the line guitar to play or collect, the Gibson Les Paul is a must have.
