"These days, Mars may be an avowed Fender player, but he still appreciates classic Gibsons, like the Les Paul Custom he played during Mötley Crüe’s early days. At one time he owned three sunburst Les Paul Standards—two 1959s and a 1960—but he currently owns just one 1960 Les Paul Standard, which was a relatively recent replacement for the ones he was forced to sell." - [*Guitar World*](http://www.guitarworld.com/node/19047).

Ronnie Wood - Gibson Les Paul

“1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard. My first of the four original sunburst Les Pauls that I own. This guitar serial #9-0829 is named “Magellan”. I named this guitar after the great explorer because I managed to circumnavigate the globe with it on a world tour in 2011 battling airlines (especially in Australia) all to get the guitar to London to do a show filling in for the late great Gary Moore with the legendary Jack Bruce at Royal Festival Hall. Unfortunately I will never do that again as it is too dangerous to do so. I love this guitar and will always treasure it and will always be grateful to my friend Eliot Michael at Rumbleseat Music for his trust and generosity," says Joe Bonomassa, about his 1959 Les Paul Standard, on his [website](http://jbonamassa.com/joes-guitar-of-the-week/guitar-of-the-week-22-1959-gibson-les-paul-standard/).

I have Seymour Duncan Phat Cat (SPH90-1) P90-style pickups in it which are the size of a humbucker. They’re amazing. I’m really psyched about them. I have another Les Paul Standard which is probably from ’93 and it has a Seymour Duncan JB (SH-4) in the bridge position and the neck pickup is whatever came on the guitar. My brother was the person who had turned me onto the JB. It was the first after market pickup I bought because he said that I had to get a Seymour Duncan JB! http://www.seymourduncan.com/blog/backstage-pass/ray-toro-of-my-chemical-romance

"To me, it’s the Les Paul Standard. Humbucking pickups are great. I love the warm tones that you can get, and if you turn the treble up really high on the amp, you can get kind of a Fender sound, too, with a Les Paul.

> The Equipment: This was really hard to find out but here’s what I got: Quorthon primarily played Ibanez Destroyer I guitars, as well as Gibson Flying Vs or Gibson Les Pauls. Most of his guitars were equipped with DiMarzio Super Distortion pickups, which would result in a very classic metal tone. In terms of amps, I’ve read he uses Marshalls Yamaha and Orange but no specific models are listed.

Alex states in an interview by GuitarSite, when asked about what guitar(s) he uses, say's he is currently using a '87 Gibson Les Paul along with other guitars.

> He’s played hundreds of makes and models, but Davies was first best known for playing a Gibson Flying V. In early ‘60s “pop” circles, the V was a rare spot and his embracing of Gibson’s radical design was hugely influential, even if he only bought the V because another guitar (originally destined for The Beatles’ George Harrison) he’d just acquired got stolen in transit to the U.S.A. Davies has also played many Les Pauls (Standards, Deluxes, P-90 Goldtops, Artisans) and L-5 and L-6 models too.

According to this [article](http://www2.gibson.com/News-Lifestyle/Features/en-us/Electric-Ladyland-555.aspx) from Gibson.com, "With eyebrow-skimming bangs, ankle boots, and a chugging Les Paul Standard, Allison Robertson of the Donnas has singlehandedly restored the glitter and gumption of ’80s rock."

In this article Bingham says that a good friend of him bought him his vintage Les Paul in Los Angeles.

"Alan – Black late 1980s Les Paul standard with Rio Grande P-90 pickups & a bigsby trem. I have a few Les Pauls & they’re all pretty exciting to play (most Les Pauls are not), but this one seems the most reliable & consistent. It’s a very heavy piece of wood & whoever had it before me played it a lot. I used to play telecasters with a humbucker & bigsby, but then I crossed over like DRI. In the studio, I’ll usually use several different guitars to get different textures, plus it kinda helps justify having more guitars than you really need. On tour, I’m usually doing it all with just the one."

Longstreth can be seen in this photo playing a Gibson Les Paul.

I also play a Les Paul Standard that is custom-made. It’s a cherry-red guitar that’s semi-hollowbody so it’s not so heavy. I can’t play that black Les Paul any more because it’s too heavy for me. I’m not gonna do it! I’m not going to wear that tree-trunk around my neck any more. - See more at: http://iheartguitarblog.com/2014/09/interview-veruca-salts-louise-post.html#sthash.3cazMsc7.4tSHwyk1.dpuf

Billy Squier has used at least 3 Les Paul Standard Bursts in his career, one was stolen from the recording Studio around the time of Emotions In Motion (circa 1983), he got a second one, a 59' Burst, from a guy in the midwest. SEE THE FULL ARTICLE HERE - QUOTES ADDED BELOW https://www.vintageguitar.com/3221/billy-squier/ My next move was to swap my ’57 Strat for a similar one with a whammy bar, in ’76. I acquired the Tele Custom for Tale of the Tape around the time I hooked up with Richie Friedman at We Buy Guitars on 48th Street. After Don’t Say No, he got me my first ‘Burst – a ’58. I was given a ’58 Burst by my merchandiser and friend, Peter Lubin, at the start of the second leg of the Emotions tour. After my original ’58 was stolen, I eased the pain by buying a ’59 from a guy in the Midwest. I also went back to Richie and picked up a ’58 goldtop that had previously belonged to Henry Gross, who previously owned my ’58 Burst. I found the ’58 Rick from a collector named Richard Heyman, in the East Village; he had a bunch of them. That must have been around 1990 or ’91. During a photo shoot in L.A. for the Truth album, I borrowed a ’52 goldtop that had been refinished in green and black, and I liked it so much that I went back to the shop and bought it. That was in early ’93. I don’t remember what I used on the solo for “Nobody Knows” because I tracked it a bunch of times, so the resulting sound isn’t tone-specific. It was definitely a Paul, however, and my guess would be my ’58 ‘Burst. These days, I play a ‘Burst when we do “I Need You” and “Nobody Knows,” so that makes me think I did the same on the record.

"But first I used my '53 Les Paul Standard through our friend Randy's AC 3O VOX amp. RIght combination. Used the line boost again too! Did the harmony guitar with my other 58 RI Les Paul Standard."

“I've got a 1991 Les Paul Classic, stock. That's been one of the main ones, but I've also got my 2007 Lemon Drop Les Paul Standard. I'm a little 'disabled' as a female as I don't have the largest hands in the world, so all my Les Pauls have the 1960s-profile necks. They're not chambered, but I do buy ones that are as light as possible. They're not your big 10lb boys! And when you're dragging them round an airport every day, Les Pauls seem to get heavier. But I love them."

Since it’s tuned lower, and Phil likes to keep the guitars feeling similar, he goes with Dunlop .013–.060 strings to mimic the tension in the other guitars.

Sterenberg uses a Les Paul Standard in tobacco sunburst. It can be see here in a picture from a show with La Dispute at The Fillmore on June 15, 2016. In an email from 2012, Chad said: "Hi Tom, I appreciate your compliments on the album. I hope this information finds you well. Guitars: Gibson Les Paul Studio, Les Paul Standard. I've had the Studio for years and I love it, I recently picked up a Standard and I like that too, but I realized I don't like owning expensive things; I think I worry about it too much..." You can tell he is using the standard because of the binding on the top. The submission above was by dante_amico however, I asked Chad at a concert what guitar his gibson was and he told me it was a traditional. When you try to find a standard in tabacco burst with zebra pickups, well, you can't. Most standards say "Standard" on the truss rod cover but the tradional pro has a blank truss rod cover.

"You play a 2005 Gibson Les Paul Standard. Why does that guitar work so well in Vintage Trouble? I grew up being a Fender guy. I was into Strats and Hendrix and Rory Gallagher; I never played Les Pauls. It’s a hard guitar to play. I bought one six years ago and couldn’t play it – didn’t sound right. So I put it in the closet. But once we started working on the early demos for the first couple of songs, I thought it would be really cool with a Les Paul and a tweed amp, so I brought it out of the closet. I really liked it and I started playing it all the time and I couldn’t stop."

Mia Coldheart performs with a sunburst Gibson Les Paul

"The main thing I'm using is...I have a Custom Shop Les Paul and it's just...like an R8 or R9, how you call it. And I've had this for about 4-5 years and this is kind of mine "go-to" guitar and it's just a great sounding Les Paul. It's kind of medium-heavy weight, it's the stock pickups that came on it, it's one of those kind of guitars where I just plug it in and I start to play with it, I love it. It fits my hand great, it stays in tune great, so I usually start my day, or when I get my sounds up at the beginning of the day, I'll play this guitar because I know what it sounds like." - Greenberg about his Gibson Les Paul Standard.

"I've been using the same gear for years, but I like the way it sounds, so as they say if it ain't broke don't fix it! My main guitars I use on tour is a Les Paul Standard and a Les Paul Classic 1960 reissue and I run them through either a Soldano SLO 100 or a Soldano Hot Rod 50."

Dean’s 2000 Gibson Les Paul Standard sports Lindy Fralin pickups. Fralin also modded the electronics so that both pickups are controlled by just one volume knob.

I have a couple cool Les Pauls. I’m totally a Les Paul guy. My favorite Gibson is a ‘97 Les Paul that’s a beautiful electric blue color. It’s USA-made, but I found it in Tokyo my first trip there. I had been searching for that guitar for years, and I saw a picture of it once in a magazine, and it was gorgeous. I loved it. When I found it, I almost wept! (Laughs) I’d been looking for it for so long! It’s been one of my main guitars for 12 years now. It’s been beaten, too. It’s been on every Finch tour and Finch recording since then, and its headstock got snapped off, and I re-glued it myself, and it’s been better than ever since then! I think a lot of it is probably that the guitar players I grew up watching and listening to obsessing over were Les Paul players. The day I played my first Les Paul, it was a ‘62 Cherry Sunburst Standard, and it belonged to the studio where I was recording. It sounded so naturally compressed and even, and every string sounded perfect. Ever since then, I get why everybody plays a Les Paul. Aerosmith’s Joe Perry is the reason I picked up a guitar in the first place, and he’s obviously a big Les Paul player.

Steve Repka uses a Gibson Les Paul Standard Electric guitar on the recording of “Circles” on “The Black and White album”(2017). Steve does not appear on this album a lot even though he was playing live with the band heavily in that era of PMT. This is the only song ever recorded by Positive Mental Trip that Steve Repka has used a Gibson Les Paul to track guitar. He appears on a few other tracks on “the black and white album” using an American Custom Fender Strat. He appears on the forthcoming “Love Never Dies” album on a few songs playing Luke’s 09’ Gibson SG Standard. Walt B was gracious enough to let us use the “For The Grateful” practice space to record and also let steve use his Les Paul. We recorded these guitar parts at the “afterparty” as PMT and For The Grateful has played Hyde Park Ampitheater that day/night. Luke talked to Steve into coming to the afterparty to track and everything fell into place and we kept the tales from that “after midnight” session.
