The Gibson Les Paul is a solid body electric guitar originally
developed in the early 1950s. The Les Paul was a design
collaberation between Ted McCarty, President of the Gibson
Guitar Corporation, and pop star, electronics inventor, and
accomplished jazz guitarist, Les Paul. It was agreed that the
new Les Paul guitar was to be an expensive, well-made
instrument in Gibson's tradition. In 1958, Gibson changed the
top finish on the regular Les Paul model from the gold color
used since 1952 to the Sunburst finish already being used on
Gibson's archtop acoustic and hollow electric guitars such as the
J-45 model. These Sunburst-finished guitars were later
referred to as Les Paul Standards to differentiate them from
the earlier Goldtop (the hardware spec was the same as that of
the '57 Goldtop).
