Guitar Candy Of The Month #2
For our Guitar Candy Of The Month, I present to you, The Les Paul Standard solid body electric guitar. Sleek, solid, and stylish, the aesthetic design on this guitar exudes finesse and class.
This is due to its typical rosewood fretboard combined with its flame top sunburst finished body, against its chrome hardware finish, and the elegant gold knobs.
Originally manufactured by Gibson in 1952, the Les Paul was also then produced by Epiphone when the company was acquired by the parent company of Gibson in 1957.
Originally intended for the jazz oriented guitarist and audience, but was more popularized by blues and rock icons in the mid 60's such as Eric Clapton, Kieth Richards, and Jimmy Page to name a few.

I hope you like this one for this month Steemit. Stay tuned for more Guitar Candies soon.
Cheers

Nice LP! Never really got into the style for my own playing, but I love love love the look of them! I have a few Fenders that I'll be sharing as I build my blog a bit more. Follow me if interested.
I love strats! I was crazy over strats until I got this one. And I love how different the two guitars deliver their own signature sound. Now despite this LP having its single coil tap option, it doesn't come close the classic clean tone of strats. Looking forward to your posts! Cheers!
This Les Paul Standard Solid Body Electric Guitar looks so nice, Where can i get one of these.
I have a Jackson JS1X Dinky Minion electric guitar, and i want to change it.
Hi @cristim I got mine used, from a trusted seller Mr. Alvin Nunez, you check him on facebook here https://www.facebook.com/Collector.Alvin/posts/537686753229628
You can get a brand new one from epiphone stores or its authorized distributors :)
How do you like them Jackson guitars? Pretty fast playing guitars I assume?
Everybody should try LP. Not because it might be the ONE you need, but because it is a legendary weapon of stadium and heavy rock and essential part of rock´n roll history.
Nice pictures. For me the body edges are too sharp. I like to sit while I practice and my arm is usually in the position where it hits the edge. If I had some extra money, I would go for les paul voodo and learn to stand while I'm playing those tunes from Led Zeppelin and Guns´n Roses.
Hi! Yeah it is quite a chunky guitar. Even Yngwie calls em furnitures lol! Nothing beats a Strat for being ergonomic. Cheers!
Cool! I follow you.
