While Gibson’s Les
Paul guitars peaked in the fifties, the man with his name on the headstock was
never entirely satisfied with his guitar, and even less so, the pickups.
Perhaps the most prolific inventor in the history of electronic music, Les Paul
was not only a phenomenal guitar player, he was one of the great minds in
modern music.
In the mid-sixties,
Les met the man who would become his lifelong friend/guitar tech/engineer, Tom
Doyle. When Les broke it, Tom fixed it. They spent hours, days, months, and
eventually years and decades together studying what makes a guitar sound good
(and what doesn’t). The “TIME MACHINE” Les Paul is the culmination of literally
decades of study and perseverance… guitars which are not only the best Les
Pauls made today, but perhaps the best sounding Les Pauls ever made. The
purists may scoff at such a bold statement, but the Tom Doyle “TIME MACHINE”
Les Paul recreates everything that was great about those Les Pauls of the late
fifties. Then mixes in the improvements that Les and Tom figured out during
their decades of research together. Refining and re-defining what really great
Humbuckers were actually capable of, which in turn changes what the Les Paul
guitar is now capable of… it’s nothing short of amazing!
Our TIME MACHINE Les
Paul guitars begin their life as Gibson Custom Shop Historic Les Pauls. To be a
candidate, the guitar must have been manufactured in 2014 or later because
that’s when Gibson switched to vintage correct hide glue, proper nitro
finishes, vintage correct plastics, and original manufacturing specs. Most
importantly, the guitar MUST weigh well under nine pounds and have a certain
acoustic resonance property. The metamorphosis begins with every piece of the
guitar being stripped off, including most of the nitrocellulose finish, then
flawlessly aged with a proprietary system of the application of heat, cold and
vibration. The end result is a beautifully checked lacquer finish, delightfully
aged plastics, metals with a realistic patina, and an aged case that will make
people’s jaw drop even before they lay eyes on the amazing guitar inside it.
The heart of the
“TIME MACHINE” Les Paul is its Doyle Coils TRU-CLONES PAF Humbucker
pickups and our ‘59 Holy Grail Harness. Featuring vintage spec REAL
paper-in-oil capacitors, 550K audio taper pots, and Tom & Les Paul’s
proprietary tweak on the classic PAF pickup design, these guitars are the most
tonally sensitive guitars on the market. Finally, there is a guitar that
actually uses all ten numbers on its knobs! With every slight movement of a
Doyle Coils volume and tone knob, a new tone is discovered!
The icing on the cake
is a guitar that is impeccably set up by Tom and his crew, because who knows
more about what a Les Paul guitar should feel like than Tom Doyle and his team?
All these factors come together to make for a great playing and sounding Les
Paul that is second to none on the market today.
That’s why it’s
called, “THE ULTIMATE LES PAUL GUITAR EXPERIENCE”
