I still fall back a lot on my Les Paul, and there is just no getting away from a Les Paul and a hot pickup.

Art Alexakis

I tried a Les Paul when I was a lot younger. I tried the Les Paul, and because of the weight of the thing, it nearly dislocated my hip.

Angus Young

... Jimmy Page bought a Les Paul because he liked mine, but it was stolen, so he bought a Standard everybody raved about .. that's what he's famous for, but his first Les Paul was a Custom like mine ... I can remember he played a Gretsch before that

Albert Lee

When I take my Les Paul onstage, it's reliable. An SG could be different from night to night, but a Les Paul is so solid and reliable that you can trust it every night

Peter Svensson

I used a fifties Les Paul custom on most of the stuff. I also used a Strat, a newer Strat. I had a million guitars in there but I used the Strat & the Les Paul in just about everything. There were a lot of different amp choices, I was working with a pro tools plug-in which is like an amplifier stimulator. The possibilities with something like that are just endless.

Tracii Guns

I couldn't not play a Les Paul guitar. Les always used to point to my Strat and say, 'Why do you have that piece of crap around your neck?' I'd say, 'Yours are too heavy. I had to drill holes in it.'

Jeff Beck

I loved the Godfather. I thought that was the best interpretation of our life that Ive ever seen. Godfather I and Godfather II - the other one stunk.

Sammy Gravano

My first record I owned was by Les Paul.

Bill Wyman

I use Gibson guitars; I prefer the Les Paul custom.

Adam Jones

My dad loved Les Paul, and I wanted to be just like that.

Steve Miller

With my Les Paul, I know I'm small. But I enjoy living anyway.

Marc Bolan

My first guitar, a Fender Jazz Master, I traded it in for a Les Paul Deluxe.

Lenny Kravitz

I have a lot of guitars. Yeah, I'm not like a guitar collector, I don't have all vintage instruments. I don't even own a Strat or Les Paul. I don't have one.

John Petrucci

The best slide guitar, unless you're playing the Muddy Waters-style, is the old '52 Goldtop Les Paul.

Rory Gallagher

My favorite is still the one that I started off with, which is a Les Paul Standard. I've played that at every gig I've ever had. And that's my starting point in the studio.
