This model was introduced in 1971 to offer studio musicians unparalleled tonal clarity and versatility thanks to low-impedance pickups: unlike standard models, the special electronics allowed direct connection to mixing consoles without signal loss. The Les Paul Recording was Mr. Les Paul’s favorite guitar!

Except for the new post and capsule of the B-string tuner and a new bone nut, this 1973 Les Paul Recording is in very good original condition. The electronics were serviced by Nicola Frecci in our workshop and work perfectly. The guitar has been professionally serviced and set up and is ready for your recording session.
