Gibson & Epiphone Les Paul Guitars

The Gibson Les Paul guitar is without a shadow of a doubt one of the most iconic, important and influential musical instruments the world has ever seen.

Since its inception back in 1952, the Gibson Les Paul has evolved into many and various iterations - from the P-90-equipped Goldtop to the sought-after '59 Burst to the ultra-modern Axcess. Across the decades, the Gibson LP has found its place on innumerable classic records across virtually any genre you can think of. From jazz to pop to the heaviest of heavy metal, Les Paul has done it all and more. The Les Paul is renowned for its warm, rich tone and singing sustain that goes on for days (just ask Nigel Tufnel). This mighty single-cutaway electric guitar has been wielded by legends such as Jimmy Page, Neil Young, Slash, Randy Rhodes, Peter Green, Joe Walsh, Mark Bolan, Joe Perry, three of the Beatles and countless others.
