ELECTRIC DREAMS
Most people think the story of the iconic Les Paul model began in 1952, when Gibson launched the guitar to compete with upstart rivals Fender. But, as Les’s son Gene explains, its evolution actually began at the dawn of the 30s, with a mysterious hand-written note that quietly changed the course of guitar history. Here, for the first time, is an intimate account of how Les Paul pushed past setbacks to become the ‘Father of the Electric Guitar’
Words Jamie Dickson
Les’s son Gene Paul holding the ‘Number One’ Les Paul his father first showed to him around 1959

We joined him to discover why a Firebird and an Ox make a powerful combination in any home studio, and receive a masterclass in the recording techniques he’s honed over 50 years of hits
THE FIRST Les Paul
The reason Gibson’s iconic Les Paul exists is because of its namesake. A star of the 1940s airwaves, Les Paul was also a gifted inventor who strived for 30 years to make his dream of a solidbody electric a reality. As his son Gene Paul says, “This is the reason music changed and rock ’n’ roll came to be… all because of this little guitar that sounded good.” Here is the story of how that very guitar – the first of the breed – was created
THE FIRST – OR JUST NUMBER ONE?
Les Paul’s guitar tech, Tom Doyle, explains why ‘Number One’ was the first LP that Les signed off on
EXPLORING THE MODS & MYTHS OF ‘NUMBER ONE’
Tom Doyle was recruited by Les Paul 57 years ago to make the master guitarist’s ambitious modding projects come to life. He was even entrusted with the jewel in the crown: Les Paul’s ‘Number One’ Goldtop. Here Tom talks us through the myriad mods of this historic instrument – and its “emotional” departure from his care
