THE EARLY YEARS OF THE LES PAUL LEGACY 1915-1963 by Robb Lawrence, foreword by Les Paul: A dazzling book! Journey through the career of musical giant, milestone guitarist, and recording innovator Les Paul, and the guitar that bears his name. This lavish book emerged out of the author's years of research, interviews, extensive vintage archives (including original Les Paul/Mary Ford articles, press photos, music and recordings), and gorgeous original photography. It's all here: factory pictures, designers, electronics; the first experimtental "Log" and "Clunker" guitars, the humbucking pickup evolution, and sections devoted to Goldtops of 1952-57 and the heralded 1958-60 "Sunburst" Standard. Exclusive interviews with Les Paul, Michael Bloomfield and Jeff Beck. A beautiful and insightful book on a legendary inventor and musician. Hardcover. 287 pp.
