Like all of Paul Reed Smith’s models, the PRS 513 starts with a great design, executed with top grade woods and parts and topped with an impeccable finish. The 513 name indicates the number of pickups, and combinations!
The Gibson Les Paul Traditional is based on Les Paul models from the 1980s and 1990’s rather than the 1950’s and uses top grade figured woods. It still uses the pattern of carved maple top on a mahogany back, wuth a mahogany neck and bound rosewood fingerboard.

Today we’re starting off with something very special – a Gibson ES-345TD in cherry, built during 1960 and used extensively by the late Domenic Troiano on countless sessions and performances with the Guess Who and Domenic Troiano Band.
The Gibson Midtown appeared in late 2011 and was ultimately available in three versions – the Standard, Custom, and Standard P-90. It’s a chambered, F-Hole double cutaway design, but with a flat top and back. It also has a slightly tapered headstock, unusual for Gibson models. Here we’re looking at an early production Gibson Midtown Standard in Cherry Red finish. Its serial number dates it to October 28th, 2011 and construction at the Gibson shop in Nashville, Tennessee.
Appearing in 2015, the Gibson Les Paul Less Plus, or Less +, features a shallow, weight-relieved and contoured version of the classic Les Paul body construction.
