Members BandofThievesâ„¢ Posted November 18, 2007 Members Share Posted November 18, 2007 I seem to remember that Paul originally wanted the SG/Les paul to have a neck thru body design.When that didn't happen he bowed out. Anyone wana take a guess at where the TV Yellow color came from and why?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jake.lind Posted November 18, 2007 Members Share Posted November 18, 2007 Yep. But Les Paul hated it and refused to have his name associated with it. That's not what I heard. I heard he was actually a pretty big fan of it, but he was going through a divorce with his wife at the time, and he didn't want to make a lot of money because their estate was to be split 50/50 and he didn't want his cheating sleaze-bag barely-human whore of a wife (pure speculation ) to get any more money than she already was getting. The key to this story is to remember that Les Paul was the bee's knees a few years back, and him and his wife were both prominent musicians and actually made a couple of albums together.

Anyone wana take a guess at where the TV Yellow color came from and why?? TV yellow was so named because white guitars would overload and wash out the black and white television cameras, so TV yellow was designed to look White in a black and white broadcast, but not overload the cameras.

Members Zachman Posted November 18, 2007 Members Share Posted November 18, 2007 whoa! that looks like a nice guitar. i love SGs. I found out years later, after I'd sold it, that it belonged to Jimi Hendrix. How's that for a kick in the balls. That was my 1st Gibson guitar.

Members RUExp? Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 That's not what I heard.

The key to this story is to remember that Les Paul was the bee's knees a few years back, and him and his wife were both prominent musicians and actually made a couple of albums together. That was also part of it but he didn't like the design. Have you ever seen him playing one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members booher Posted November 19, 2007 Members Share Posted November 19, 2007 Ya, I am glad to learn something new. Cool... Thanks I miss my white '62, it was a Les Paul though: damn dude that's an awesome coronet. I think there might still be a coronet at guitar center in my town, but it's got two covered strat like pickups in it. Either way it still sounds awesome, but I bet those mini 'buckers rock.
