Table of Contents
The Gibson Company faced a dilemma in 1952: compete with Fender's increasingly popular solidbody electric guitars, or stick with the well-established acoustics and electric-acoustics. This book tells the story of Gibson's decision and the next 50 glorious years. In 1952, Les Paul--a pioneer of new electric guitar sounds and recording techniques--was America's most famous guitarist. His endorsement of Gibson's new instrument fueled its vast popularity. This lavish volume illustrates how Gibson expanded the Les Paul line throughout 50 years of changing musical trends, creating the highly desired sunburst Standard, high-end Custom, controlladen Recording, hollow-bodied Signature, and many more.
