Lester’s Guitar Design Such a Classic?

Why do I prefer a Gibson Les Paul?I prefer the aesthetics of Gibson, and their ergonomics.Aesthetics are found in things like the body shape and size and contours: the fretboard bindings, fretboard inlays, the tulip pegs. The Gibson vibe is classy, and elegant. I’ll come back to this later.Mostly, it's a “feel” thing, and I love the way a Les Paul feels. When I get the strap length just right, I love how it hangs on my shoulder, and how it presents itself to my hands. I love how the string plane is up off the face of the guitar — makes it easier for me to dig in. And my right hand can rest on the perfect height of that tune-o-matic bridge, with the strings falling away towards the tailpiece, or curl my picking hand down around the bottom of the string plane, without a volume knob getting in the way. (Not great technique, I know, but I’m a leftie playing right-handed, so something had to give, and it’s my picking style, known as West Toronto Brutal Make-Do.) I always remove Gibson … Lester’s Guitar Design Such a Classic?

Gibson Dark Tiger The World’s Most Advanced Guitar

Is this “The World’s Most Advanced Guitar”? Gibson certainly thinks so, and going on the amount of tech squeezed into the Les Paul-shaped body of the Dusk Tiger, it just might be true.First, the body. It might look like a Les Paul, but the top is flat, not contoured, and the mahogany back of the marblewood body covers a chambered interior which reduces weight and tweaks tonality.

The tuning keys are smaller versions of Gibson’s “Robot Tuners”, and can quickly switch between various alternate tunings on-the-fly, or just tune the guitar for you (500 times on a single battery charge).The bridge is pretty much a standard Tune-o-Matic bridge, but incorporates a piezo pickup into each saddle, and has separate outputs for all six strings.
