  • Gibson Declares Bankruptcy
    Gibson Declares Bankruptcy David Diaz, CEO,Davenport Laroche Another timeless rock and roll icon is headed to “rehab”. This time, though, it’s not a performer. It’s the brand that tied together some of rock’s biggest names, from Elvis Presley to Keith Richards, Jerry Garcia, Slash, Ace Frehley and Jimmy Page. Each of these icons played Gibson. Slash, in fact, was an official brand ambassador for the guitar brand he proudly played on stage during a meteoric six-year run with Guns ‘n Roses. Seeing one of the new breed of guitar gods ripping through sets on his Gibson inspired a new generation of shredders to grab their Les Paul or Standard, jam and dream. Now, though, Gibson has hit a major roadblock, filing for bankruptcy protection as the company struggles to mitigate half a billion dollars in debt. As a result of the bankruptcy filing, the press is reporting that creditors will “take control” of the company, that was founded way back in 1902 and helped defined American music for more than a century. Because Gibson guitars were so popular for so many years, many are wondering why, exactly, the company is in such dire straits. There are several reasons, though many are blaming the relatively recent acquisition of Philips’ consumer audio division a few years back. That, in fact, is the first thing Gibson’s new ownership plans to let go in an attempt to get the business back in the black. The company will divest itself of the line of headphones, loudspeakers and turntables that have proven to be a drag on profitability.

Rosewood fretboard with 22 original jumbo frets and pearl dot markers. Serial number "323241" stamped in blind on back of headstock.

    PRESS RELEASE | NEW YORK I FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE : 18 A U G U S T 2021 CHRISTIE’S TO OFFER LES PAUL’S PERSONAL “NUMBER ONE” ~ THE GUITAR THAT STARTED IT ALL THE FIRST GIBSON LES PAUL GUITAR OWNED & APPROVED BY THE FATHER OF THE SOLID-BODY ELECTRIC GUITAR ~ OFFERED AT CHRISTIE’S ‘EXCEPTIONAL SALE’ ON OCTOBER 13 IN NEW YORK Gibson Incorporated, Kalamazoo, Michigan, Circa 1951-52 The solid-Body Electric Guitar, Known as Les Paul’s “Number One” Les Paul Model Artist's Prototype Estimate: $100,000-150,000 Les Paul “is part of a homespun tradition of scientific wizards that includes Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison.” ~The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame New York— Christie’s announces Les Paul’s own personal ‘Number One,’ the very earliest approved production model of the famed Gibson Les Paul electric guitar which monumentally changed the development of Rock’n’Roll in the 20th Century will be featured in The Exceptional Sale on October 13 in New York. Along with Mr. Paul, Gibson Incorporated developed this innovative solid body electric guitar circa 1951-1952 to meet the demanding standards of guitar virtuoso and inventor, Les Paul, who designated this his Number One; the first solid electrified guitar that met with his approval, and was the culmination of his lifelong dream. Kerry Keane, Christie’s consultant and Musical Instruments Specialist, remarks, “In any creation narrative there are always multiple protagonists, but the name Les Paul ranks at the pinnacle when discussing the electric guitar. His development of multi-track recording, and audio effects like delay, echo, and reverb all profoundly influenced how music is reproduced and heard.

  • 2014 Les Paul Standard Controls
    2014 Les Paul Standard Controls Each of the four knobs on the Les Paul Standard, Standard Plus, and Standard Premium models has a push down/pull up switch. These switches let you obtain 13 basic tones, as well as choose between two “presets” using the Pure Bypass feature. All Knobs Pushed In Pushing all knobs down provides the traditional Les Paul wiring. The pickup selector chooses among neck, bridge, or both pickups. Two knobs control pickup volume, while the other two knobs control pickup tone. Tuned Coil Tap Pulling up on the neck and/or bridge volume controls engages the pickups’ Tuned Coil Tap option. This makes a humbucker sound more like a single-coil, but taps through a tuned network that provides a gentle midrange scoop. The highs are more present, while preserving the low end so you don’t lose the humbucker’s characteristic warmth. The Tuned Coil Tap retains much of a humbucker’s hum cancellation properties and doesn’t have the degree of level drop associated with other tapping techniques. Phase Reverse Pulling up on the neck pickup’s tone control changes the neck pickup’s wiring to out of phase. Switching Between Two Presets Pulling up on the bridge tone control initiates Pure Bypass, which connects the bridge pickup directly to the output jack. This preserves the maximum bridge pickup level. So, you can set up a particular “preset” sound with your volume controls, tone controls, and pickup selector (like a favorite rhythm guitar tone), then select this sound by pushing the bridge tone control down.

  • Setting Guitar Intonation Using Your Peterson Tuner
    Setting Guitar Intonation Using Your Peterson Tuner Before you attempt to tune any stringed instrument, the intonation should be checked and, if necessary, adjusted to the correct position. If you’ve never used a Peterson tuner before, then it is almost certain that your instrument is not yet correctly intonated and will not sound its best until you address it. Now that you have a Peterson, you can achieve professional quality results with the help of the tips below, and the intonation will be the best it can be on your instrument. You’ll need your Peterson tuner, a short guitar cord, a small screwdriver and a set of new strings. Before starting, find a surface upon which to lay your guitar that is free of any objects which could damage your instrument and cover it with a towel or similar soft material. Remember to tune the guitar in the position in which you would normally play it (i.e. around your neck, supported by a strap), but adjust the bridge of the guitar after laying it on a flat surface. If you tune the guitar while it’s laying flat, gravity will affect the tension of the neck and skew the results. If you adjust the bridge while the guitar is hanging from a strap on your shoulder, there is a risk that the guitar’s finish will be damaged by the screwdriver. If possible, take the opportunity to clean the fingerboard after the old strings have been removed. New strings will stay clean and sound good a lot longer if the fingerboard is free of grime and dirt.

But the most impressive thing about theS folks at Gibson USA and the leg- endary Les Paul guitar they produce is that they have somehow mastered the art and science of making a handmade, custom guitar in a mass-production setting.

    The Standard Gibson Les Paul Electric Guitar The guitar is a musical instrument that has been around for many centuries. Music composition and sound evolved quite drastically over time. Therefore, the guitar transformed and evolved as well. Since the beginning of the rock and roll era, guitarists, such as Slash, Randy Rhoads, and Jimmy Page favored the Standard Gibson Les Paul electric guitar for its smooth playability as well as crisp and piercing tones. Amazingly the Gibson Les Paul consists of simple mechanisms. These simple mechanisms are found on the three main components of the Gibson Les Paul guitar: the headstock, the neck, and the body. The Headstock The Neck The Body The Headstock The first component, the headstock, has its own subcomponent: the tuners. The headstock is one of the most significant parts of the guitar because it houses six tuners which tune the guitar strings as well as hold the strings in place. It is made out of mahogany wood and angled at fourteen degrees with respect to the neck. Tuners The Gibson Les Paul’s headstock houses six tuners with three on each side of the headstock that separately hold guitar strings E, A, D, G, B, and e in place. Depending on which side of the headstock the user turns the tuner knobs, the guitar produces lower or higher pitched tones when the string(s) are plucked. Lower pitch results from the tuner knob turned in the direction that decreases the string tension, whereas the higher pitch results from the tuner knob turned in the direction that increases string tension.
