One of the most unusual Les Paul variants ever.
\nThe Les Paul Recording<\/strong><\/em><\/a> was developed in close collaboration with Lester Polfuss (Les Paul)<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>with the aim of creating an instrument specifically for studio and recording applications.
\nLow impedance pickups, extensive electronics and maximum sound control were the focus here.
\nThis specimen from 1976<\/strong> is particularly interesting:
The controller arrangement and body routing differ from the known production models<\/strong>, which could indicate a possible early transition or prototype model<\/strong>.
\nThe guitar also has a sunburst finish<\/strong>, which is not normally found on recording models.
\nA truly exceptional piece of Gibson and Les Paul history and a real collector’s item.<\/p>\n
