Lou Pallo Signature Les Paul

Longtime friend of legendary guitarist and innovator Les Paul, and his bandmate in the Les Paul trio, Lou Pallo logged countless hours of gig time with Paul over 26 years, and performed side by side with the legend as they thrilled crowds during their weekly shows at the Iridium club in New York City year after year. In honor of his longstanding friendship with the Gibson icon, Lou Pallo has now been honored with a signature model of his own—a Les Paul, of course, but one made to the specs and appearance of this great jazz artist's own preference.

Blending features of the Les Paul Standard and Les Paul Custom, the Gibson USA Lou Pallo Signature Les Paul has a sleek Ebony Black finish with Natural back and sides and pearloid block inlays (including "Lou Pallo" signature inlay at the 12th fret), but carries a carved maple top on its mahogany body, a rosewood fingerboard, and chrome-plated hardware. Les Paul tones from vintage to modern are available via Lou's choice of one P-90 single-coil pickup in the neck position, and one Gibson Dirty Fingers humbucker in the bridge position, routed through the traditional controls.

Blending elegance and functionality in a unique yet familiar package, the Lou Pallo Signature Les Paul is a classy instrument dedicated to a class act, and a fitting tribute to one of Les Paul's closest musical collaborators.

Les Paul Black Beauty

    As its name implies, The Les Paul Black Beauty is the pinnacle of elegance in looks and tone. With its third Humbucking pickup in the middle position, this Custom is well-equipped for amazing delivery of both sound and expression.

Electric guitar

    An electric guitar is a guitar that uses a pickup to convert the vibration of its strings into electrical impulses. The most common guitar pickup uses the principle of direct electromagnetic induction. The signal generated by an electric guitar is too weak to drive a loudspeaker, so it is amplified before sending it to a loudspeaker. Since the output of an electric guitar is an electric signal, the signal may easily be altered using electronic circuits to add "color" to the sound. Often the signal is modified using effects such as reverb and distortion. 
Invented in 1931, the electric guitar became a necessity as jazz musicians sought to amplify their sound in the big band format. During the 1950s and 1960s, the electric guitar became the most important instrument in pop music. It has evolved into a stringed musical instrument that is capable of a multitude of sounds and styles. It served as a major component in the development of rock and roll and many other genres of music.
