Goldtop Les Paul with the 1952-style trapeze-style bridge
Due to their versatility, Les Paul electric guitars have been used in a wide range of music genres, including rock, country, pop, soul, rhythm and blues, blues, jazz, reggae, punk, and heavy metal. Along with Fender's Telecaster and Stratocaster, it was one of the first mass-produced electric solid-body guitars. The Les Paul has been produced in many versions and editions since. The original single-cutaway, carved top bodystyle was re-introduced in 1968. For 1961, the Les Paul was redesigned into what is now known as the Gibson SG. The 1958–1960 sunburst Les Paul, today one of the best-known electric guitar types in the world, was considered a commercial failure, with low production and sales. In 1957, humbucking pickups were added, along with sunburst finishes in 1958. The Les Paul was originally offered with a gold finish and two P-90 pickups. Its typical design features a solid mahogany body with a carved maple top and a single cutaway, a mahogany set-in neck with a rosewood fretboard, two pickups with independent volume and tone controls, and a stoptail bridge, although variants exist. The guitar was designed by factory manager John Huis and his team with input from and endorsement by guitarist Les Paul. The Gibson Les Paul is a solid body electric guitar that was first sold by the Gibson Guitar Corporation in 1952. Originally various sunburst many other colors subsequently produced.
