Gibson / Les Paul Recording / 1971 / Guitar

A major part of Les Paul’s original vision for the solidbody electric guitar was to incorporate features crucial to studio musicians, and that dream was realized in the famed Les Paul Recording Model which was introduced in 1971. This Les Paul Recording was made in that first year, and is still in perfect all original condition. Its pancake body construction, walnut finish and unusual electronics make this instrument a true eyecatcher. The two low-impedance humbucking pickups generate a signal with a wide frequency range; The top end is noticibly brighter than a Strat's, and there are some similarities to the range of a piezo pickup, although it's a more midrange, less "hollow" sound. Luckiliy, due to a factory built-in Impedance transformer, the instrument can be played on any conventional amp. The controls include a phase switch, a decade switch (an 11-position rotary switch that sends the signal to ground through different values of capacitors), 3-position tone switch (position 1: both pickups with decade, fixed valuecapacitor and resistor position 2: treble and bass cut, decade, pickup selector  Position 3: pickup selector, decade), treble cut, bass cut, 3-way pickup selector and low-high impedance switch. It goes without saying that this instrument has contained within it a very wide variety of great sounds! Condition of this vintage guitar is Very Good; It has some expected playwear and signs of use, weatherchecking and minor bucklerash. Includes original hardshell case. Consignment.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
