    Introduced in 1952 as Gibson's first solid-body electric, the Les Paul pairs a mahogany body with a carved maple top and a glued-in neck. With its twin humbucking pickups, rich sustain, and thick tone, it stands alongside the Stratocaster as one of the two defining electric guitars of rock and blues.
