In 1958, Gibson introduced an electric guitar called the Les Paul Standard, a solidbody electric with mahogany body, two pickups, and a threecolour sunburst maple top, priced at $280. About 1,500 were made before production ceased in 1960 of what was at the time a notparticularlysuccessful model. But when guitar heroes such as Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page began to play examples in the 1960s, the legend of the burst began. The guitars became among the most desirable ever made, and to buy one now youd be looking at paying what it would cost to purchase and furnish a decent sized family home, and put a car in the garage. So how did that happen? Who are the musicians who play these hallowed instruments and who are the collectors wholl pay hundreds of thousands for them? And is there actually a $1 million dollar Les Paul? Through a series of interviews with players, collectors, guitarmakers, dealers, and others, leading guitar historian Tony Bacon mulled over these questions, and, in Million Dollar Les Paul, he offers some answers. It is a unique book, combining investigative journalism, music history, and a dash of guitar geekery in an almost mystical quest to penetrate the secrets of a hidden world a world where science and superstition meet, and where the dusty case under the bed just might turn out to hold the guitar equivalent of the Holy Grail.
