| Even "Goldie" uses Gibson Les Paul's |
I love guitars BUT I have a special love of Gibson
Les Pauls.This page is dedicated to the finest rock guitar ever made....................
What can I say about the Gibson Les Paul that has not been said? Any guitarists that has had his hand on one of
the "special" ones will tell you there is nothing better. There is magic in a huge slab of mohagony, a maple cap and a long
tenon /set neck that I have never found anywhere BUT in a Les Paul. I played hundreds of Pauls before choosing the two you
see here.Every piece of wood is unique in the way it has grown,absorbed minerals and in its density. ALL of these affect tone
and the BEST way to find the best is to play them.Unplugged you will hear an immediate difference in the way in which the
wood rings when you find a keeper.If she feels as good as she sounds,GRAB her and take it home. You will have a guitar that
when properly cared for, will last many lifetimes and inspire you to play more and better.........

In this pic below of a 57 reissue custom, you can see the all mohogany construction(both body and cap). Also the
long neck tenon found in the historic/reissue line can be seen extending well into the neck pickup route.
