Solid body electric guitar manufactured by Gibson since 1952, designed with input by famed jazz guitarist Les Paul whose name ended up as the name of the guitar itself, work and prototypes commenced in 1950, with 1951 prototypes being strikingly similar to the final product until its introduction in 1952. The Les Paul eventually caught big success in a seemingly endless array of genres, pinning it as one of the most well known and popular guitars along with its contemporaries, the Telecaster and Stratocaster. It's similarly been used by musicians far and wide, including Slash, Joe Perry and James Dean Bradfield among others.
The Les Paul also holds a strong cult following in Japan, in animation Hirasawa Yui of K-On! is perhaps the most popular player, using a Cherry Sunburst Les Paul Standard (now Traditional). Other prominent characters include iDOLMASTER Million Live!'s Julia using a TV Yellow Les Paul Special and Bang Dream!'s Mitake Ran with a red Les Paul copy.
Original Les Pauls were released with goldtop finishes, P90 ("soapbar") pickups and either stopbars or tailpieces. Prominent Gibson versions of the Les Paul include:
