Gibson "The Paul" With Convenient Sweat-Sluicing Bevel

December 04, 2008
Gibson "The Paul" Charlie Pickett

Remember when Gibson sold a lower-cost version of the Les Paul, but called it by its American name "The Paul?" Charlie Pickett does. He's got a "The Paul" he snagged off eBay that he just loves, if not for its looks, then for its ability to handily wick perspiration away from the sensitive pickups.

I case you're wondering, Mr. Pickett is wearing shorts in this video. No letters.
