Les Paul's Design Contributions


Other sources suggest a much more hands-on design role for Les Paul. He agreed that the guitar should be an expensive, well-made instrument in the Gibson tradition. Some say that he made at least two significant contributions to the design of the Gibson Les Pauls. One was that the colors should be “classy” - that is, an expensive-looking gold version, and a black, “tuxedo-like” version should be produced. The other contribution widely credited to Les Paul was the trapese tailpiece design.
