The Les Paul, the first solid body guitar to be produced by Gibson, was first introduced in 1952 but it wasn’t until a decade later that they would become popular. Jimmy Page is credited with bringing initial attention to the Les Paul Gibson and since the 1960s many of the best rockers have played a Les Paul making it one of the most popular guitars in the world.
