Thanks in advance for your support.
Let me first say that I am not sponsored by Gibson in any way. I make these history videos for educational purposes, my own, and hopefully as a result, yours. I hope you enjoy it.
This is my short history of the Gibson Les Paul, from Creation to Custom Shop. You might think that "short" here in the title is something of a misnomer, but the history of about 50 years worth of guitars is packed in to this.
I am fully aware that I couldn't fit every single model here (I actually learned of many I'd NEVER heard of during the research) but tried to choose each guitar for its effect on the direction the model took as time went by.
I'm sure I can count on you to add those in the comments. :)
Two books in particular helped in pulling the video together. ***Five watt world participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn commissions by linking to Amazon.

Finally I need to thanks Dave Onorato of Dojo Guitar Repair in Atlanta, Georgia. Dave has been helped me from brainstorming to final fact checking scripts and for that I am grateful.
A lover, and owner of some exceptional Les Paul's he even broke one out to provide the original music at the beginning and the end of the video.
I'd add that some subscribers have commented on the seeming "duality" of the channel. Encouraging minimalism while posting histories of instruments that might, in some, inspire passing (or prolonged) moments of gear lust. This is not my intention. I have come the long way around to learning to think something is beautiful without feeling that I need to own it. It is perhaps a fine distinction but also one I believe we should take more time to ponder.
Thanks for watching.
