This A3-sized Art Poster features five highly detailed colour illustrations of Famous Gibson Les Paul Guitars, from George Morgan. Produced on 250 gsm silk art paper this Art Poster is suitable for framing with or without a mount and will be supplied in a sturdy cardboard postal tube. Famous Gibson Les Pauls Duane Allman played this 1957 Les Paul Goldtop in the studio and live performances for the first 18 months in The Allman Brothers Band including recording the first two albums featuring the original versions of Whipping Post, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, Midnight Rider and Revival. Purchased new in 1962, Jimmy Page used this 1960 Gibson Les Paul Custom for most of his session work from 1963 to 1966. Jimmy had the Bigsby tremolo fitted and the original single pickup selector switch replaced by three toggle switches, allowing selection of any combination of pickups. Purchased in 1967 from Dan Erlewine for his ā54 Les Paul and $100, this was the 1959 Les Paul Standard that Mike Bloomfield used as a member of Electric Flag, in live performances and whilst recording the Super Session album in 1968. Pete Townshend used numbers to identify different tuning and in 1973 switched permanently to the Les Paul Deluxe. This early prototype #8 shows the DiMarzio humbucker in the middle position and two additional switches providing a two-way tap for the Dual Sound and three-way selection. These are not photographs.
