Gibson Les Paul Guitar Vintage Wall Cover

When we think of the solid-body electric guitar explosion, we inevitably think of the early to mid-1950s. But the story of Les Paul goes back even further. In 1945, Les Paul, already a respected guitar innovator, presented Gibson with the idea of a solid-body Spanish guitar.

A piece of pine wood ran through the center of the instrument - slightly deeper and wider than the neck - and hollow sides or "wings" were added to give it its shape. Les called his prototype "The Log" - not exactly an inspiring name, but perfectly fitting for what was essentially a bolted-on log of pine.

Although Les recognized that solid bodies were the future of electric guitar manufacturing, Gibson initially did not share his enthusiasm. They scoffed at the concept and rejected the prototype.

By 1951, however, the guitar market was a very different place. Fender's newly named "Telecaster" was creating a small storm in the world of guitar playing, proving that Les Paul's solid vision wasn't as outlandish as Gibson had initially thought. Not surprisingly, that same year, Ted McCarty and his team began working on the model that would eventually become the Les Paul model.

That original guitar featured many of the characteristics we now associate with the Les Paul; its distinctive shape, mahogany body, and iconic "Gold Top" color scheme. In 1964, Keith Richards purchased his 1959 Sunburst instrument, becoming the first guitarist to use it on the British scene. Eric Clapton switched to a Les Paul in 1965, inspired by Freddie King. By the late 1960s, Peter Green, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page were responsible for the Les Paul's resurgence. For lovers of this legendary guitar, the Gibson Les Paul Vintage wall hanging is now available for your walls.
