Gibson Les Paul sources
The iconic
Gibson Les Paul
, took the music world by storm when it debuted in 1952. More than five decades later, this all-time favorite solid body electric guitar continues to influence guitarists, musicians and music lovers all over the world.
Any player who knows their Guitar History is already aware that the Les Paul was pioneered, developed with the assistance of, and endorsed by the famous jazz-pop artist of the same name. Paul wanted a guitar that better served the needs of jazz guitarists, one that would offer more sustain and feedback resistance than the hollowbody archtops that were the norm at the time, and would also be more versatile sonically. Of course these qualities also suited electric players in just about every other genre, and Les Paul Goldtops in their earlier incarnations with P-90 pickups quickly wound up in the hands of a diverse range of artists, from formative blues men John Lee Hooker and Freddie King to rock’n'roller Carl Perkins. Following Paul’s lead, plenty of jazz players took them up too. Adept at producing thick, warm tones from its neck pickup in particular despite being a solidbodied design, the Les Paul proved a natural choice for plenty of great jazzers. More surprising, perhaps, is the ease with which it adapted to country styles.
Back in the fifties and in the early days of the solid body electric guitar, guitar models were simple in design, barely more than a flat price of wood with minimal accouterments. With the Les Paul Standard, Gibson moved up the aesthetic value of the guitar by designing a stylish and sleek work of art. The move might have seemed strange to followers of Gibson, generally regarded as traditionalists in the field, but on hindsight it was actually an extension of Orville Gibson’s radical mandolin designs back in the 19th century. The new member of the Gibson stable was set to have the same caved top form that had so distinguished Orville’s earlier designs form the rest of the pack.
The Gibson Les Paul Standard has a solid mahogany body embellished by a carved maple wood top. All Gibson Les Paul guitars have humbucker pick ups that vary depending on the model. The Gibson Les Paul has changed little since its introduction. There have been a few humbucking pickups and updated bridge, but besides these minor changes, this is still the guitar that defined an entire generation of music, from the blues rock of the 60s to the southern rock of the next decade.
By the time the nineties rolled around, the Les Paul signature sound was found in virtually every musical genre there was, from rock and alternative to metal.
Tinkering with electronics and guitar amplification since his youth, Les Paul began constructing his own electric guitar in the late ’30s. Unhappy with the first generation of commercially available hollowbodies because of their thin tone, lack of sustain, and feedback problems, Paul opted to build an entirely new structure. “I was interested in proving that a vibration-free top was the way to go,” he has said. “I even built a guitar out of a railroad rail to prove it. What I wanted was to amplify pure string vibration, without the resonance of the wood getting involved in the sound.” With the good graces of Epiphone president Epi Stathopoulo, Paul used the Epiphone plant and machinery in 1941 to bring his vision to fruition. He affectionately dubbed the guitar “The Log.”
Les Paul’s tireless experiments sometimes proved to be dangerous, and he nearly electrocuted himself in 1940 during a session in the cellar of his Queens apartment. During the next two years of rehabilitation, Les earned his living producing radio music. Forced to put the Pennsylvanians and the rest of his career on hold, Les Paul moved to Hollywood. During World War II, he was drafted into the Army but permitted to stay in California, where he became a regular player for Armed Forces Radio Service. By 1943 he had assembled a trio that regularly performed live, on the radio, and on V-Discs. In 1944 he entered the jazz spotlight—thanks to his dazzling work filling in for Oscar Moore alongside Nat King Cole, Illinois Jacquet, and other superstars —at the first of the prestigious Jazz at the Philharmonic concerts.
By his mid-thirties, Paul had successfully combined Reinhardt-inspired jazz playing and the western swing and twang of his Rhubarb Red persona into one distinctive, electrifying style. In the Les Paul Trio he translated the dizzying runs and unusual harmonies found on Jazz at the Philharmonic into a slower, subtler, more commercial approach. His novelty instrumentals were tighter, brasher, and punctuated with effects. Overall, the trademark Les Paul sound was razor-sharp, clean-shaven, and divinely smooth.

”A matter of perception”: Rhetoric, embodiment, and the visual practices of anatomy laboratory education. $49.99 This dissertation is an ethnography and rhetorical study of the visual and embodied practices that constitute anatomy education, particularly investigating how contemporary laboratory anatomy incorporates and is facilitated through visual representations of the body. Through fieldnotes, interviews, and the textual analysis of material from two large-enrollment courses (one for undergraduates and the other for medical and dental students), T. Kenny Fountain explores how the body (both the cadaveric and living body) is represented, how these representations inscribe the body as both a human subject and a scientific object, and how one uses these representations to teach and learn anatomy.;Drawing from the work of Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and James Gibson, Fountain explains how anatomical knowledge operates as a discourse system that is materialized in and on the body, made flesh by way of embodied practices of viewing and touching that render human remains as specimen data. These practices of dissection, demonstration, and observation involve the formation of what Bourdieu terms habitus (or dispositional tendencies that structure one’s thoughts, perceptions, and bodily practices) and constitute the body as a perceptual lens for interpreting the texts of the lab. These visual texts—ranging from drawings, atlas illustrations, radiographs, microscopy, and actual cadavers—make possible an anatomical vision that mutually articulates knowledge and bodies, encouraging participates to read the physical human body as an instantiation of anatomical discourse. Students, TAs, and instructors make use of these texts, and what Gibson terms their “affordances,” in a dialectical process of hypothetic-confirmation, of self assessment and persuasion, in which participants conflate the physical body with the anatomical body. Anatomical education, then, operates as a form of socialization that makes possible a coherent yet non-totalizing visual and |

‘57 Classic Humbucker $139.99 For the first few years of their production, Gibsons famous Patent Applied For humbuckers were wound using imprecise machines, resulting in pickups with slightly different output and tone.

They are made to the exact same specs as the original PAFs, including Alnico II magnets, nickel-plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, maple spacers, and vintage-style, two-conductor braided wiring.

…Baby One More Time $12.99 At the beginning of the ’90s, teen currency shifted from bubblegum’n'Tiger Beat to grunge’n'Maximum Rock & Roll. Although it may have been pushed from the spotlight, teen pop hadn’t died — it, in a way, went underground, spending time on the fringes of pop culture. One of the leading lights of the exiled teen brigade was The New Mickey Mouse Club. For several years, it toiled away on the Disney Network, earning a small fan base — but, more importantly, providing a launchpad for several careers, including that of Britney Spears. Like her fellow NMMC alumni *N Sync, Spears shot to stardom in the late ’90s, just as she was on the verge of late adolescence. By that time, everything old was new again. Albums like her debut, …Baby One More Time, were topping the charts as if they were Hangin’ Tough, which is only appropriate since it sounded as if it could have been cut in 1989, not 1999. …Baby One More Time has the same blend of infectious, rap-inflected dance-pop and smooth balladry that propelled the New Kids and Debbie Gibson, due to the Backstreet Boys’ producer, Max Martin, who is also the mastermind behind Spears’ debut. He has a knack for catchy hooks, endearing melodies, and engaging Euro-dance rhythms, all of which are best heard on the hits: the ingenious title track, “Sometimes,” “(You Drive Me) Crazy,” and the utterly delightful, bubblegum-ragga album track “Soda Pop.” Like many teen pop albums, …Baby One More Time has its share of well-crafted filler, but the singles, combined with Britney’s burgeoning charisma, make this a pretty great piece of fluff. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi |

The Gibson , while owned by Bronisaw Huberman , was stolen twice. The first time the violin was returned shortly after the theft; the second theft, by musician Julian Altman, occurred on the evening of 28 February 1936, backstage at Carnegie Hall , while Huberman performed with his Guarnerius of 1731. Though Huberman never saw the Gibson again, the instrument was recovered 50 years later, in 1985, as a result of Altman’s deathbed confession to his wife that he had stolen the violin.The Gibson ex-Huberman is currently owned by violinist Joshua Bell .

1891 Disestablishments: American Association $14.14 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: This article refers to the former Baseball major league that existed from 1882 to 1891. For other leagues with a similar name see: American Association (disambiguation). The American Association (AA) was a Major League Baseball league that existed for 10 seasons from 1882 to 1891. During that time, it challenged the National League (NL) for dominance of professional baseball. Together with the NL, the AA participated in an early version of the World Series seven times. The American Association distinguished itself in several ways from what it considered to be the puritanical National League. The new league established teams in what the NL leaders pejoratively called “river cities”, including Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Louisville and St. Louis, with the inherent implication of lower morality or social standards in those cities. Living “down” to those expectations, the AA offered cheaper ticket prices and more liberal libations to its patrons. On November 8, 1881, at the Gibson House in Cincinnati, it was decided that individual teams in the newly formed league would operate its own affairs and setting its own admission prices, under an agreement called the guarantee system. The NL at that time prohibited the sale of alcohol on its grounds, while the AA had no such restrictions, especially as several of its teams were backed by breweries and distilleries. The AA became known as “The Beer and Whiskey League”, another pejorative term applied by NL supporters, and which did not seem to bother the fans of the Association’s clubs. Beginning in 1884 and continuing through 1890, the champion of the AA met the champion of the National League in an early version of the World Series. These early Series were less organized than the modern version, with as fe… More: |

1954 Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar $4799 Custom: exclusive, elite, unparalleled. When guitar star Les Paul sat down with Gibson in the early 1950s to devise the revolutionary instrument that would carry his name, he envisioned two versions of the Les Paul Model: a standard version with gold top finish and nickel-plated hardware, and a Custom model that would be the crme de la crme. This Les Paul Custom would be dressed in formal wear, like the tux a jazz artist might pull on for a major performance, with a high-gloss Ebony black finish, multi-ply binding on body and headstock, an ebony fingerboard with pearl block markers, a larger headstock with mother-of-pearl split-diamond inlay, and gold-plated hardware throughout. As busy as Gibson was getting its debut solidbody electric guitar into production, the Goldtop was the first model out of the box in 1952, with the Custom on the back burner for further development. With the Goldtop off and running and gathering fans fast, Gibson turned its attention to designing the Les Paul Custom in 1953, planning for a release the following year, and prepared to make it something special. In addition to Pauls desired Custom appointments, it gave this high-end electric the best of its new developments in hardware and electronics.Though not a guitarist himself, Gibson president Ted McCarty had seen the need for a more efficient, more adjustable bridge, and had personally designed the Tune-o-matic (ABR-1), which had individual string saddles for precise intonation adjustment, and easy height adjustment via a pair of thumb-wheels on its body-mounted bolts. The Les Paul Custom of 1954 was the first to receive this revolutionary piece of hardware, which was partnered with a stopbar tailpiece (or optional Bigsby vibrato), and its inclusion marked a major step forward in the evolution of the Les Paul in general. Also new that year, at McCartys behest Seth Lover, who would soon contribute to the design of the legendary PAF humbucker, developed a new single-coil pickup based on th |

1956 Les Paul Goldtop VOS Electric Guitar $3699 Gibson Les Paul model. Designed by Les Paul produced by Gibson and enthusiastically approved by top guitarists everywhere. Original Gibson advertisement circa 1952Gibsons introduction of the Les Paul model in 1952 laid the template by which all other electric guitars would be measured, but it would still undergo several key modifications before developing into the iconic version widely known today as the Les Paul Standard. One of the most significant changes to the Les Paul model was the addition of the new Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece in 1956, replacing the trapeze and wraparound tailpieces that had adorned earlier versions. The Goldtop models proved instantly popular with a growing legion of electric blues players, most notably B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, and Tiger Haynes, and today is one of the most revered and copied pieces of guitar hardware ever developed.Near-perfect RecreationThe 1956 Les Paul Goldtop from the Gibson Custom Shop is presented with all the historically accurate appointments and legendary tone of the original. No detail is overlooked, starting with the Les Pauls traditional hand-carved maple top and solid, non-weight relieved mahogany body. The headstock is made from Holly head veneer, as opposed to fiber, just like it was in 1956, and the vintage-style tulip tuners are mounted in a straight line, also as they were on the original. The 24 -inch scale length neck is made from one solid piece of mahogany, and attached to the body using a long neck tenonone of the Les Pauls more distinguishing characteristics of the 1950s. The neck is topped by a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard outfitted with acrylic trapezoid inlays matching the size of color of the originals. Also significant are two of Gibsons legendary P-90 singlecoil pickups, providing all the punch and raw power that made the 1956 Les Paul Goldtop the guitar of choice for many early electric blues players.

National Football League (NFL), (352 U.S. 445, 1957), is a U.S. Supreme Court decision ruling that professional football, unlike professional baseball, was subject to antitrust laws. It was the third of three such cases heard by the Court in the 1950s involving the antitrust status of professional sports. Three justices dissented, finding the majority arbitrary and inconsistent in refusing football the exemption it had upheld five years previously in Toolson v. New York Yankees (). The majority admitted that the similarity between the two sports from a legal standpoint would probably have denied baseball the exemption as well were it sought afresh, but existing case law had tied their hands in the absence of any congressional action. While the NFL has secured some limited antitrust exemptions since through the legislative process, the lack of a blanket exemption due to this decis… More: |

Using the same $99.50 price point it had for the previous three years, Gibson introduced a revamped version of the Les Paul Junior in July of 1958 that featured a brand new double cutaway design which allowed players complete access to the Juniors 22-fret fingerboardan idea that had also been implemented on Gibsons Modernistic guitars, and the ES-335.Gibson also introduced several new finishes that sought to take advantage of the rapid development of color television, including a transparent cherry red finish that would ultimately become known as the Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish, and a limed mahogany finish similar to the yellow color of a banana. The idea was to produce a more lively finish so that the guitars could stand out on home television screens, hence the or |

1958 Les Paul Plain Top (Iced Tea) $3999 Objects of distinction are seldom recognized immediately, and this was certainly the case when Gibson introduced the newly renamed Les Paul Standard in July of 1958. Having already made several modifications to the base Les Paul Model guitar over the previous two years the Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece being the most notable changes the new Les Paul Standard introduced in 1958 hoped to correct Gibsons waning sales of solid body electric guitars, which had been on the decline ever since 1953 when the company shipped 2,245 instruments.BodyFor the 1958 Standard Plaintop, Gibson decided to arrange the maple top in two bookmatched pieces glued together at the center seam, giving each guitar its very own distinct look and marking the beginning of the guitar worlds fascination with figured maple tops, even though the majority of the tops used in 1958 were considered plain when compared to the tops used one year later and beyond.FinishLegendary Gibson president Ted McCarty and his staff partly blamed the guitars Goldtop finish as the main culprit for the sales slump and decided to forego the finish in favor of new, brighter finish dubbed Cherry Sunburst, which allowed the natural beauty of the maple top to be showcased something that had previously been concealed by the Goldtop finish.Additionally, Cherry Sunburst was the only color other than Gold that was used to finish the new Les Paul Standards in 1958, even though clear differences in the color of vintage examples would suggest otherwise. These variations were due mainly to the inconsistency of the red pigment used by Gibson to paint the sunburst finish, a problem that wasnt corrected until the early 1960s and which caused many of the guitars to fade to some degree of amber, honey or yellow hue. This problem inadvertently led to the creation of many of the finishes used today on numerous Gibson guitars, including Honey Burst, Tobacco Burst, Light Burst, Iced Tea Burst, Lemon Burst, Vintage Sun Burst and, |

Gibson Gazette, December 1958Objects of distinction are seldom recognized immediately, and this was certainly the case when Gibson introduced the newly renamed Les Paul Standard in July of 1958. Having already made several modifications to the base Les Paul Model guitar over the previous two years the Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece being the most notable changes the new Les Paul Standard introduced in 1958 hoped to correct Gibsons waning sales of solid body electric guitars, which had been on the decline ever since 1953 when the company shipped 2,245 instruments.BodyFor the 1958 Standard Plaintop, Gibson decided to arrange the maple top in two bookmatched pieces glued together at the center seam, giving each guitar its very own distinct look and marking the beginning of the guitar worlds fascination with figured maple tops, even though the majority of the tops used in 1958 were considered plain when compared to the tops used one year later and beyond.FinishLegendary Gibson president Ted McCarty and his staff partly blamed the guitars Goldtop finish as the main culprit for the sales slump and decided to forego the finish in favor of new, brighter finish dubbed Cherry Sunburst, which allowed the natural beauty of the maple top to be showcased something that had previously been concealed by the Goldtop finish.Additionally, Cherry Sunburst was the only color other than Gold that was used to finish the new Les Paul Standards in 1958, even though clear differences in the color of vintage examples would suggest otherwise. These variations were due mainly to the inconsistency of the red pigment used by Gibson to paint the sunburst finish, a problem that wasnt corrected until the early 1960s and which caused many of the guitars to fade to some degree of amber, honey or yellow hue. This problem inadvertently led to the creation of many of the fin |

1959 ES-335 Dot Reissue Hollow Body Electric Guitar (Assorted Colors) $4999 Gibson has always been a guitar maker steeped in tradition. So, after revolutionizing the guitar world with the solid body Les Paul model in the 1950s, Gibson made a bold return to its roots by offering an electric guitar that encompassed the benefits of a solid body guitar, but in the image of an acoustic arch top. The result was the ES-335, which was first released in 1958, but would eventually reach its most desirable form one year later in 1959. Now, 50 years after reaching this zenith in semi-acoustic guitar design, Gibson Custom is proud to reintroduce one of the most celebrated guitars in its history, the 1959 ES-335 Dot Reissue. This limited production model from Gibson Custom captures this desirable classic in greater detail than any reissue-style guitar previously produced. It is truly an instrument born in the image of its inspiration. Starting with the traditional plain laminated maple top, back and sides, with single-ply crme binding on both the top and back, the 1959 ES-335 Dot Reissue is true to the originals 59 specs in almost every detail. Its one-piece, 24- inch scale length mahogany neck features a long tenon, a 22-fret Madagascar rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays and a rounded 59 neck profile. In addition to its period-correct look, the 1959 ES-335 Dot Reissue recreates the legendary tone of the original model by utilizing a pair of Gibsons renowned 57 Classic humbucking pickups, which is the closest thing to original PAF pickups on the market today. High-quality CTS volume and tone potentiometers with bumble bee capacitors offer a fundamental electronics package, thus insuring the guitars unique tone is captured and delivered with the utmost accuracy and originality. Other traditional appointments include vintage tulip tuners; a holly headstock veneer and all nickel hardware, including an ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminum stop bar tailpiece. Includes hard-shell case. |

1959 Les Paul Standard VOS Electric Guitar (Assorted Colors) $5699 HistoryGibsons Les Paul Standard model from 1959 is the most highly acclaimed, widely recognized solid body electric guitar in the entire world, coveted by both players and collectors as the ultimate example of playability, attractiveness and tone among all six-stringed instruments. In an industry filled with imitations and replicas, the iconic 1959 Les Paul Standard simply has no equal.Named after Lester William Polsfuss, aka Les Paul legendary American jazz guitarist, and true pioneer in the development of recorded music the Les Paul model guitar became the Standard in July 1958 after company president Ted McCarty and his staff decided to add the new designation and forego the guitars traditional Goldtop finish for a new, brighter finish dubbed Cherry Sunburst, which allowed the natural beauty of the Les Paul Standards maple top to be showcased. The company was hoping the changes would improve its sales of solid body electric guitars, which had been declining since 1953 when the Gibson shipped 2,245 Les Paul Model guitars.Unfortunately, sales of the new Les Paul Standard continued to dip, and after shipping only 643 guitars in 1959 and another 635 during the early part of 1960, Gibson once again instituted another redesign of the guitar, abandoning the Les Paul design as we know it today and creating the SG Standard. No one could have imagined, however, that those 1,278 Les Paul Standard guitars especially the 643 from 1959 would become the most sought after guitars in the world.BodyWhile the full impact of the 1959 Les Paul Standard was still several years away from being realized, its influence on guitar design was already well underway. Besides its exceptional tone and playability, the 1959 version of the Les Paul Standard was renowned for its two bookmatched pieces of maple wood that made up the top of the guitar. While most of the Les Paul Standard tops in 1958 were considered plain, some of the maple tops in 1959 and into 1960 were flamed or figured, a |

1961 SG Reissue Electric Guitar $1999 The light bulb. Television and radio. The microwave oven. Gibsons SG Standard all inspirations of genius that transformed the way we live. Gibsons redesign of the Les Paul in 1960 was a bold move. But it paid off big time. It announced a new, radical electric guitar design for Gibson, and the world. It also inspired a rebellious generation of ideas and music rarely experienced before, and certainly not since. Today, that same radical design and restless spirit lives on in Gibsons celebrated SG line. The Gibson SG 61 Reissue pays tribute to this revolutionary guitar. Its all there, in all its original glory. Transform your playing. Revolutionize your life and experience your own uprising firsthand.60s Slim-Taper Neck ProfileNo guitar neck profiles are more distinguishable than the neck profiles employed on the Gibson models of today. The 60s neck profilefound on the SG 61 Reissueis the more modern, slim-tapered neck most commonly associated with the Les Paul and SG models of the early 1960s. The neck is machined in Gibsons rough mill using wood shapers to make the initial cuts. But once the fingerboard gets glued on, the restincluding the final sandingis done by hand. That means there are no two necks with the exact same dimensions. So while it still has the basic characteristics of its respective profile, each neck will be slightly different, with a distinct but traditional feel. Trapezoid Inlays The classic trapezoid inlay is one of the most distinguishable features of many traditional Gibson models, including the SG. A figured, swirl acrylic gives these inlays that classic pearl look. They are inserted into the fingerboard using a process that eliminates gaps and doesnt require the use of fillers.TWO 57 Classic Pickups Among the qualities that make Gibsons original Patent Applied For humbucking pickups so unique are the subtle variations between coil windings. For the first few years of their production1955 to 1961Gibsons PAF humbuckers were wound using impreci |

1966 Wilshire w/Tremotone $399 Epiphone Brings Back the Wilshire With a Faithful Reproduction of the 1966 ModelOne of a Kind Sound from Epiphone's Glorious Past! In 1957 Gibson purchased New York's Epiphone Guitar Company and moved production to Kalamazoo, Michigan. With plans to expand retail distribution by differentiating Epiphone dealers from Gibson dealers, Gibson began production of a new line of "Kalamazoo-made and designed" Epiphones in 1959. For over a decade, Epiphone solid body guitars and basses were produced right alongside Gibsons. These Epiphone guitars represented some of the highest quality and best sounding instruments of their generation. They provided unique shapes, pickup arrangements, and tonal signatures not seen on comparable Gibson models of the day. Under appreciated at the time of their release, numerous artists through the years have recognized the unique appeal of these guitars. Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter, Paul Gilbert and Steve Marriot are but a few of the artists that have embraced the tone and build quality of these Kalamazoo built Epiphones. One such Epiphone instrument was the Wilshire.Today, Epiphone brings back the Wilshire with a faithful reproduction of the 1966 model. Like an SG guitar, the Wilshire's double cutaway Mahogany body with a glued-in Mahogany neck that joins the body at the 22nd fret gives you ultimate upper fret access. Lightweight and comfortable, the Wilshire has excellent resonance and natural acoustic tone – even unplugged! Featuring Epiphone's LockTone (TM) tune-o-matic/stopbar combination, the transfer of string vibration is improved even more giving this guitar excellent sustain and clarity. But here's what separates the Wilshire from the SG. Most early Epiphone guitars including the Wilshire were equipped with mini-humbucking pickups and Epiphone carries on this tradition. With its smaller size, narrow magnetic field and unique design combination, the mini-humbucker produces bright and focused output w |
