The Paul

Guitar Story #6: Gibson The Paul

Details

  • Guitar: 1979 Gibson The Paul
  • Year Purchased: 1982
  • Price Paid: $350.00 ($938.69 in 2021 dollars)
  • Notes: My first Gibson!

Anyone who knows me is probably pretty sick of me yammering on about this one. This stripped down entry-level Gibson really made an impression on me back in ’82. So much so that I picked up another in 2018. You can read the stories of both here

I don’t know why I connected with this model so much but I did and I am real stoked to have one again. I’ll leave you with a crusty old Polaroid of my original back in the days of shag carpet:
