Gibson Les Paul facts
- The Les Paul was designed by Gibson president Ted McCarty, factory manager John Huis and their team, along with guitarist/inventor Les Paul
- The Les Paul was originally offered with a gold finish and two P-90 pickups
- In 1957, humbucking pickups were added, along with sunburst finishes in 1958
- The sunburst 1958–1960 Les Paul – today one of the best-known electric guitar types in the world – was considered a failure, with low production and sales

- This design continued until 1963 but continued as a separate guitar, when the traditional single cutaway, carved top bodystyle was re-introduced
- The Les Paul has been continually produced in countless versions and editions since
- Along with Fender's Telecaster and Stratocaster, it was one of the first mass-produced electric solid-body guitars
- Les Pauls have been used in many genres, including rock, country, pop, soul, rhythm and blues, blues, jazz, reggae, punk, and heavy metal
