Gibson Les paul

I got a new Electric guitar called a Les Paul. I got it around a month ago but i guess i can call it new. The guitar is a Gibson and the things i like about it are the pick ups. a Pick up catches vibrations and it converts them into a electrical signal. It can be amplified and recorded.

The neck is week and easy to break but if you don’t drop it or hit it with something, it will be probably fine. It is easy to break because the neck is bent.

The frets are thick and is harder to play than a standard guitar but if you get used to it, its easier to play. When you amplify the guitar, the sound is fantastic.

there are different pickups for different guitars.

(Sorry it was only picture i could find)

This is the Gibson Les Paul Standard 2008. There are a few different things about this guitar and the one from the 50s.

The Head, Strap Bottons, Pannel, Bridge, and the Jack are different

Sorry its cut

They changed the Jack (The hole you put the cord in) because before at live concerts, the cord sometimes gets pulled out and the sound cuts off. The new Jack is made to put in the cord, and you have to push the red trigger to pull the cord out. This makes it not pulling out in live concerts. The bad thing about the new jack is that if it breaks, it takes much more money to fix than the older one.

They have also changed the strap botton into a little bit bigger one so the guitar doesnt fall of the strap. There is a botton like metal that you put on the strap botton after putting on the strap on the guitar. This way it would not fall off while playing.
