A selection of the best Gibson Les Paul guitars listed for sale in the last week. The Gibson Les Paul is a solid body electric guitar first sold in 1952 by the Gibson Guitar Corporation (*). Witnessing the success of the Fender Esquire and Fender Broadcaster in 1950 (Telecaster predecessors) – Ted McCarty recruited professional guitarist Les Paul (full name Lester William Polsfuss) to develop this alternative to the Fender Telecaster. The Les Paul is also produced under licence to Epiphone – we have a range of Epiphone Les Paul available here.
One of the appeals and instantly recognisable features of these classic guitars is the finish. From the classic EBONY version (all black with a contrasting ivory trim) to the bright SUNBURST series – Heritage Cherry Sunburst, Honeyburst and even a stunning green Anaconda Burst. For more information on the original Les Paul – please visit our Gibson Les Paul history page …
Check the price of a NEW Les Paul – Before spending hundreds on a preowned Gibson we recommend researching the price of a NEW one from our partners at Gear4Music. We often see used Gibson guitars sell for a price very close to that of a new one – sometimes more when bidding fever takes over – check prices at G4M first.
