  Gibson Les Paul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The second issue of the Les Paul came into being in 1954 and was called the "Custom" which featured the all-fl, highly decorated work of art, dubbed the "Black Beauty." This version featured a mahogany top which differed from the Gold Top's maple top.
The Deluxe was among the "new" 1968 Les Pauls.

 The Place 2 Be: Gibson Les Paul
Instead of simple dots, Gibson use trapezoid-shaped, pearl, fret-marker inlays on the Standard model echoing the shape of the headstock and tuning pegs right up to the solid guitar body where the neck is glued into the body.
The Les Paul sound is one of the most distinctive in popular music and for a long period, and at different times, has been the de facto rock sound.
The Les Paul Custom is the Rolls-Royce of the range but can be just admired for its beauty than anything else with its gold hardware, inlays, binding and scrolling.

 Gibson Les Paul Artist Model: No Moog for Guitarists?
The prototypes of the Les Paul Artist were developed in 1978, which used a circuit of active electronics originally developed for Gibson's RD Artist model.

 The Gibson Les Paul Guitar Trader
In 1979, possibly due to rivalry between the Kalamazoo plant and the Nashville plant, the Les Paul KM, or "Kalamazoo Model", was born.
It was dissatisfaction with Gibson's "near misses" on the Les Paul KM and the Heritage 80 Models that prompted Guitar Trader to pursue the development of a reissue Les Paul that more closely approximated 1959 Les Paul specifications.
Gibson reproduced several original parts, such as the "rhythm-treble" switch surround with correct gold printing size and width of letters, "Gibson" logos hand-cut on a jig saw with the open "b" and "o" inlayed into original spec white holly headstock veneers.

In early-1957, Gibson changed from P-90 single coil pickups to their new humbucking pickups, making the Les Paul Standard what it is today (one of the most popular electric guitars of all time).
Mid-1958 to 1960 "sunburst" Les Paul Standards are consider to be one of the most attractive electric guitars ever produced (even though they are identical to the mid-1957 goldtop model, except for the finish).
Sunburst Les Pauls with a tomato soup finish, reflector knobs, and a thin neck shape are not nearly as desirable as their 1958 to early 1960 cousins.
