"Do you want to be seen playing folk music on a Les Paul..."
I've just been sat in the throne room listening to old Les Paul tracks...
hmmm... wonder what guitar he played...???
Let's not forget the Les Paul was originally developed as a solid body feedback resistant deluxe guitar intended for sophisticated tasteful jazz cabaret showbiz melodic players...
Not really that different in essence from the far more fancy and expensive acoustic guitars that get shown off in folkie circles...
Now what if Gibson had exported more Les Pauls to The UK during the 1950s folk boom and signed endorsement deals with emerging star folk guitarists...???
