pippy 1,550 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 wasn't the les paul originally designed by a Jazz legend' date=' made by a jazz legend, for the jazz legend?[/quote'] It was designed, mainly, by a guy called Larry Allers with input from John Huis to the general spec's set out under the auspices of Ted McCarty and Les Paul. The details were worked out by all of these people in conjunction with the patternmakers at the factory. Les Paul was approached by McCarty to endorse the guitar, a contract was negotiated and the rest, as they say..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vagabond 1 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Les paul, wine red finish, chrome hardware, creme pickguard/multi-play binding, creme uncovered 57 classics, solid body (no chambers, no relief), and instead of Les Paul on the headstock it should say "Marilyn." I've thought about this once or twice before :x Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MI_Canuck 2 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 mine would be either just a simple LP Custom 'Black Beauty', either regular or the 2-pu VOS version... or perhaps late 70's/early 80's LP Custom Silverburst (i'm a big Tool and Adam Jones fan)...

pippy 1,550 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 ive always liked these.. cant find anything on the web about em. had to take the pic from a guitar history book I'm not sure that I'll say anything that's not already in your book but this is what I know about the guitar in your post. Introduced in 1976' date=' it was called, simply, 'The Les Paul'; emphasis on the 'The'. Very similar to the '76 Custom in features, it had a body made from solid Curly Maple; the 'purfling' (binding) being made from Rosewood. In fact, almost everything which would normally be made from plastic; the knobs, scratchplate, P-U rings etc., was made of Rosewood. According to my sources, most were finished in clear lacquer, to show off the top to it's best advantage. "Almost all of the skilled workmanship lavished on these very limited edition, and very expensive guitars, is the work of Gibson's wood wizard **** Schneider" [sic'] In 1976 it was listed at $ 3,000. To put this price in context I quote, from earlier in the same book; "...Good examples (of original '58-'60 Standards) change hands for upwards of $ 3,000..." Hope this is helpful.
