Für viele Gitarristen ist es eine Überraschung, wenn sie entdecken, dass es einen Musiker gab, der genauso heißt wie die eigene Lieblingsgitarre. Und der Mann war auch noch Gitarrist - so ein merkwürdiger Zufall. Spoileralarm: Es ist genau andersherum, denn es war Les(ter) Paul(fus), der die Les Paul erfunden hat. Gibson hat sie dann gebaut und vermarktet. Die Herkunft ist nur eine der Mythen, die sich um die Gibson Les Paul ranken, eine der legendärsten, bekanntesten und begehrtesten E-Gitarren überhaupt. Und dann gibt es noch die Technik dahinter, denn Gibson gehört zu den Firmen, die einen soliden, handwerklichen Background besitzen. Gibson Les Paul Mythos & Technik ist vollgestopft mit praktischen Tipps zur Wartung Einstellung und Verbesserung der Gitarre, die man selbst ausführen kann, auch wenn man kein Fachmann ist - sowie den Hinweis, wann man besser zum Profi geht. Das alles wird zu einer faszinierenden Technik- und Kulturbetrachtung einer Gitarre verwoben, die die Welt der populären Musik geprägt hat. Wer eine Gibson Les Paul besitzt, für den ist Gibson Les Paul Mythos & Technik von Paul Balmer ein must have! Für alle anderen natürlich auch. Mit einem Vorwort von Les Paul Der legendäre Les Paul persönlich verfasste nicht nur das Vorwort, sondern spricht in einem Interview auch über die Entstehungsgeschichte und die Besonderheiten seiner Gitarre. Tipps zur Wartung liefern John und Andy Diggins. Mike Vernon erzählt von den Bluesbreaker-Sessions mit Eric Clapton und Neil Dorfsman erinnert sich an die sagenumwobenen Aufnahmen zu Money for Nothing, bei denen Mark Knopfler eine Les Paul spielte.

While Gibson produced literally thousands of banjos prior to WWII, only a handful were made in the now most desirable configuration: the Original Flathead Five-String Mastertone. Since Earl Scruggs helped to make them the most sought-after banjos in the world over 60 years ago, these instruments have amassed a cult-like following. These particular banjos featured a completely innovative design when the Gibson Company introduced them around 1930. They have since become the benchmark in design, sound quality, and just sheer power among banjo players. They have therefore also become the inspiration for nearly every successful 5-string banjo that has been manufactured for the past five decades. Like Martin Dreadnaught and Fender Stratocaster guitars, the Gibson Mastertone Banjo has achieved an exalted status: It is appreciated far beyond its utilitarian purpose as a musical instrument, and considered a truly original American art form. The Mastertone design and style are instantly recognizable by musicians and music lovers around the world, even if imitated by other manufacturers. Of the 130 or so Original Flathead Five-String Mastertones known to exist, 19 of the absolute best are featured here. The Scruggs, Reno, Jenkins, Crowe, Osborne, Huber and Mills banjos are shown in all of their glory, with details of their known histories and provenances, as well as never-before-seen photos, bills of sale, factory shipping ledgers, and other ephemera relating to these rare and highly desirable instruments.

Some of the most iconic recordings ever set to vinyl were produced on the Gibson Les Paul with the “Patent Applied For†pickup which, with its glass-like chime and haunting mids, represents the heart and soul of classic rock and the foundation upon which all subsequent guitar tone has evolved. The analysis within these 4-color pages precisely examines that very heart and soul, investigating its origins, development and rise to stardom...leaving no stone unturned in a quest to understand exactly what it is about the mythology of this particular combination of wires, wood and metal that make it so appealing to the ear, and so irreplaceable to the mix. Never before has such a revealing peek behind the scenes of the “Patent Applied For†pickup been attempted, but authors Mario Milan and James Finnerty will take you on a photographic tour of the genesis of the P.A.F. pickup with expert attention to every aspect of their engineering and a precise comparison and explanation of the qualities of pickups emanating from different eras. Along the way, myths are debunked, secrets revealed, and mysteries solved, which, along with an exclusive interview with Ted McCarty offer a deep and thorough analysis of that which makes these creations so uniquely special, as well as an explanation of exactly why replication has been so elusive. Well-known pickup winders offer their own diverse and individual perspectives on the reasons for such compelling and enduring appeal.

This miniature replica model honors the legacy of Gibson electric guitars. Regardless of the fact that George Harrison and Eric Clapton rocked a '6a SG Standard, that model year was clearly a standout for SGs in general. The clunky side-pull vibrato had been replaced by the dependable Maestro Vibrola. The neck profiles had increased in size, resembling the profile found on 1959 Les Pauls. And the balance, playability and look of the SG seemed to come into its own. For all those reason and many more is why we decided to create a handcrafted model afer this iconic insstrument.

The creation that would become Gibson's Les Paul guitar hit retail stores in 1952. This was Gibson's introduction to the solid body world of electric guitrs. In the early 1950s, demand for electric guitars was reaching a new customer base. Rock 'n' roll was just around the corner and ready to explode. The timing was right and Gibson took off with this idea and introduced other guitars to the Les Paul lineup. However, the new single cutaway Goldtop Les Paul Model spawned many changes in its six years of production. The wrap around and tune-o-matic bridge along with the humbucking pickup were Gibson firsts in the 1950s and still used to this day on their guitars. Early performers such as Les Paul, Freddie King, Carl Perkins and BB King can be seen in this book as early pioneers playing this model. Later years would bring a new barrage of guitarists such as David Gilmour, Paul McCartney, Les Dudek, Jeff Lynne, Danny Kirwan, Steve Hackett, Clem Clempson, Dickey Betts and more to the Les Paul Goldtop. This beautiful hardcover book tells the whole story complete with tons of full-color photos on every page.
