Les Paul Gibson Guitars

When did Gibson guitars take Les Paul as a consultant? Did they hire other musicians as consultants before or after?

Is the Gibson guitar today the same as it was when they made it for the first time?

RE: Les Paul Gibson Guitars



It was in 1950 or 1951, I'm not sure, and actually his contribution to the development of the guitar was minimal. They are making them again (after they stopped for a few years) but they gave then name Les Paul to a very wide range of guitars, and only one of them is similar to the original one.


I'm sure Gibson are using musicians as consultants, but I don't know of any specific names.

RE: Les Paul Gibson Guitars



Huh, I didn't even know that Les Paul was a musician -- I thought it was only the name of the model!
