The electric guitar was invented in 1930. It became essential especially to jazz musicians in their search to amplify and add unique ‘colour’ to their sound as well as rock and roll artists. Since then however, the electric guitar has definitely contributed to the revolution of many other music genres and has been forever impacting many artists throughout history.
The Gibson Les Paul is an iconic musical instrument that is named after the man who pioneered and developed this revolutionary musical apparatus. He was a jazz musician who had the goal of bettering the jazz guitarist experience. The creations of formative blues men such as John Lee Hooker, Freddie Kind and rock’n’roller Car Perkins showed that this goal had been reached, which lead to the natural development of other artists using the Gibson Electric guitar in their productions to enhance their sound also.
Though the sound from an electrical guitar can be modified with creative use of electronic circuits that will transform, reverb and distort, it is essential that the electric guitar itself be the star. Gibson electric guitars are famous for being the core of contributing to create unforgettable music throughout history.
The electric guitar is a dominant instrument in popular music; both in recording studios and live entertainment especially in genres such as heavy metal and hard rock. For this reason, it is clear why a large percentage of recording artists or aspiring musicians will choose a Gibson electric guitar. Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, James Hetfield of Metallica and Lenny Kravitz are just a few electric guitarists of an infinite list of Gibson enthusiasts who take pride in contributing their success to their Gibson electric guitar.
The designs of the Gibson electric guitar are simple but iconic. The solid body which is barely more than a flat piece of wood is what makes it so recognizable. Gibson designs are iconically traditional with minimal embellishments carved on the maple wood top and have hardly changed since its introduction. Gibson electric guitars do not have to be and do not want to be aesthetically ‘showy,’ since they have already defined an entire generation of music and genres.
