Gibson Les Paul Classic Electric Guitar

Guitar legend Les Paul and Gibson teamed up in 1952 to produce the guitar that set the standard for solid body electric guitars - the Gibson Les Paul Classic Electric Guitar. In the 1990's Gibson and Les Paul still enjoy the most successful endorsement agreement in the history of the guitar, and the Les Paul Standard is still the Industry Standard.
