A Timeline History of Gibson Les Pauls, 1952 to Today | Gear Through The Years

Gibson Les Paul's have come in many distinct flavors, from their original Goldtop stylings through Juniors, Specials, Customs, Deluxes, and more. As one of the most remade and reissued guitars to ever exist, there are many versions of the vintage classic and just as many modern recreations. Let's take a look at some prime examples of Les Pauls, starting at the beginning. Find them all on Reverb: bit.ly/3AdnQkE

The Gibson Les Paul Classic will always be my favorite.

[@festushaggen2563]

I love Les Pauls. That's the definitive rock 'n roll guitar for me. Still have and play my '92 LP Studio today. I had no idea it would have any greater meaning or value when I bought it 30 years ago. I can testify to the "good wood era" claim though. It's been through the worst of times and falls over the years. It never cracked or broke and still plays great. I'll never sell it but I want a 60's Standard Bourbon Burst real bad. Always wanted a Standard and that one does it for me. One of these days.

[@rockhead69]

The guitar that set the tone of rock and roll. Fantastic video... congrats.

[@RhysticStudies]

I've played a ton of Les Pauls over the years of varying rankings, but something about the Studio just hits the spot for me. nice and simple. I regret selling the one I bought back in the early naughts.

Couple of others I'd like to see here: - Les Paul Studio Baritone (early to mid 2000s /2011-12, very limited run and could be a future collector's edition) - Les Paul BFG (late 2000s: combination of different pickup configuration and construction not seen as a 'standard' Gibson model) - Les Paul Ultima (late 2000s I think: higher grade than a Supreme, Custom Shop model without compromise)

[@JamieWoodfinJr]

Awesome history lesson. 🎸❤️

[@leedee4968]

This is the best easy to understand straightforward expose' of the Les Paul that I have seen yet 😎thanks

[@ignacioernesto]

quality content! i apreciate it, thanks for sharing

[@the-creech4790]

I own 5 different models and I love them all!

[@cortmiller]

Also the somewhat recent custom shop les Paul special double cut figured top. Which is a mouthful but is a double cut les paul special shape from the early 60s but with stop tail/Abr -1 and a flat flame maple top and binding. They are pretty awesome as well

[@pritchettdan]

Well done!

[@bambam5255]

My Best Friend and Brother Willy gave me my first traditional pro v and I love it!!!!! Cant go wrong with Les Paul ever any version of em'!

[@gav6808]

Brian Jones from the Rolling Stones had a nice triple pick up black 57 LP👍

[@thebreakfastmenu]

Les Paul Deluxes are my favorites. I remember when they were around a thousand bucks on the used market. Guess that means I'm getting old.

[@creationinspired200]

Thank you reverb for taking all of that crowdsourced data from all those sales and giving us a historic look inside gibson les paul!

[@felixfravega]

Nice! What about Traditionals? 2013-2019 standards?

[@markchristopher9716]

I've had my '69 Gold top since '73

[@shektek]

Nice, but no mention of the LP Artisan?

[@pa4tim]

I think the TV yellow was used instead of white guitars because on B&W televisions the white reflected to much light from the spotlights under-exposing the rest or over-exposing the white. Yellow looked still more or less as white without causing exposure problems

[@johncartelli]

i was looking for a little more detail about the models...i have a 2010 LP small neck, binding, in wine red..push pull volume knobs, satin back...cant find what model it is

[@eluherlu]

My first-love guitar

[@Mynistrh3ll]

i wish this "mini-documentary" lasts 2 hours. lol PS: i have a late '79 Gibson LP Standard, a Late '96 Gibson Studio and a mid '86 Gibson EDS-1275, all great guitars!

[@michaelb.42112]

The Gibson Les Paul is the Shawshank Redemption of guitars ; Failed at the box office, only to win the hearts of the world later, and to be one of the very best...

[@YearsOfLeadPoisoning]

"Price of a moderately sized house" That would mean multiple-millions in Toronto or BC

[@teddinardo8944]

hottes,they are like ;our early Harley Davidson motorcycle's ,the sound of thunder, my 1974 2oth anniversary with a jimmy page set up like his 1 and 2 put together, a never sell

[@kbirridia]

bookmarked maybe, but probably meant to say "bookmatched". :-)

[@matthewpaluch777]

🤔Forgot to mention the Les Paul "Lite" which first came out in the 80's.

[@ws6texp2]

Someone said Les Paul's started with Epiphone ?

[@yeoldefoxeh254]

Okay, you've made a Fender strat video, now a Gibson Les Paul video. We need Fender Precision/Jazz video too! There are deep talkers (bass players) too!!!!

[@craigdankers8509]

They also made the deluxes in 1976.

[@gav6808]

They did indeed but not too many around anymore.

[@craigdankers8509]

@@gav6808 True@Gav I am lucky I have a 1976 Deluxe tobacco sunburst left handed even more rare.

[@elliotmorley9075]

You skipped the les Paul high performance series

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

P90s and covered pickups look like schitt. The pickguard is schitt, as well.

[@KoaCharvel]

The price of a moderate size house.....lol

[@giabgr]

Les Paul Standards returned again in 1976, not 1974.

[@fluxerflixer1]

Nothing came close to the ‘1968 black beauty I owned for 20 years. I regrettably sold it in 2005. One of the dumbest things I’ve ever done. 😢. Considering I paid $350.00 for it from a friend back in 1985. That guitar played like creamy melting butter.

[@marcmayou1422]

Beautiful sound But so heavy still a great guitar.

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

The Burst is the sexiest guitar in existence, but it must have zebras and no pickguard.

[@pritchettdan]

It's LIMED MAHOGANY, not LIMITED MAHOGANY...

[@bartvisscher2647]

i do like KZbin algorithms sometimes, like this time.

Una guia muy probre, querer abarcar todos los periodos de manera rápida es un desperdicio.
