Although introduced in 1952, the Gibson Les Paul didn't receive the official definition of "standard" until 1960. Built with a maple capped mahogany body and two PAF humbuckers, the standard would become the most desired and valuable electric guitar in history. Played by the likes of Duanne Allman and Jimmy Page, it has truly become the "standard" rock/blues/jazz instrument. |

Fender introduced the Precision Bass (P-Bass) in 1951. The P-Bass was the first electric bass and was a smash hit. The Precision bass included a Slab double cut away ash body, a single coil pickup, one piece 34" neck (Maple). The early Pbass also featured large Kluson tuning machines heads. These were later replaced by conventional geared tuning machines. In 1957 the pickup was upgraded to a split double coil pickup and a wider head stock was added.

Like Hofner, Klira had been around since the late 1800's. Founded by Johannes Klier, Klira originally produced violins and classical instruments. After WW-II, they started building guitars and basses as well. Guitar making became the majority of their business during the 50's and 60's. |

Introduced in 1952, the Fender Twin featured a 2x12" speaker configuration, tweed covering, and two 6L6 power tubes supplying 25 watts of power. In '58, Fender boosted the power output to 80 watts with a quad of 5881 output tubes. Known as the "high power" Twin, these models have become the most sought after by both players and collectors. In 1963, Fender added reverb to the design and the Twin Reverb was born. Throughout the years, the ever-popular Twin has had many versions, including the Twin Reverb, Twin Reverb II, Red Knob Twin (often referred to as the "evil Twin"), and, most recently, the '65 reissue. |

The Gibson Melody Maker was first launched in 1959 and remained in production until 1971. It had a thin slab-style mahogany body and a one-piece mahogany neck. All the electronics, from the small single-coil pickups to the cable jack, were assembled on a scratchplate and installed in a routed cavity on the front of the body. The strings ran from a straight-sided simplification of the traditional Gibson headstock at one end to a wraparound bridge/tailpiece unit at the other. |

Formed in 1909 as Ludwig & Ludwig by brothers William F and Theo Ludwig, Ludwig has introduced innovations in drum construction throughout its history. The Black Beauty snare drum, a hand-engraved black nickel-plated brass shell drum first manufactured by Ludwig during the 1920s, is highly prized by collectors and players alike. The Ludwig Supraphonic snare drum is considered to be an industry standard for professional snares. Originally made of chrome-plated brass, it was later made of a chrome-plated aluminum alloy. Such notable drummers as Ringo Starr, John Bonham, Ian Paice, Ginger Baker, and Steve Gadd, used this drum exclusively throughout the 1960s and 1970's. Wood shell snare drums featured precision finishes supplied by Steinway and Sons. Although they have mostly been famous for their metal drums, especially their metal snare drums, most of the drums manufactured by Ludwig have had a plastic "pearl" wrap glued on top of wooden drums. The most sought after original Ludwig finish is the 1960s Oyster Black Pearl, made famous by Ringo Starr. Perhaps the most interesting use of materials appeared in Ludwig's Vistalite drum kits. Vistalite was the trade name used by Ludwig for its line of transparent colored acrylic drums in the 1970s. |

Released in 1952, the Fender Bassman was originally designed for bass players. It was soon discovered to be a superb choice for guitarists as well, though. The first version featured a single speaker, but that was changed to a 4x10 configuration in '55. Later versions consisted of a piggyback style head and 2x12" or 4x12" cabinet. Considered by many to be the holy grail of guitar amplification, the Bassman has stood the test of time and is one of the best sounding, most collectable amplifiers ever produced. |

In 1959, Fender introduced the Telecaster Custom and Esquire Custom, fancy versions of the originals with white binding that helped protect the edges from wear. These guitars had Jazzmaster-like rosewood fingerboards, which looked more traditional and wore better thanone-piece maple necks. Some early-'60s, pre-CBS Custom Telecasters had necks capped with maple fingerboards made in the same manner as the necks capped with rosewood.

Gibson had made forays into radical body shapes (the Flying V and Explorer) in the 1950s, but they failed to meet expectations. The president of Gibson, Ted McCarty, hired car designer Ray Dietrich to design a guitar that would have popular appeal. Under Dietrich, the Firebird took on the lines of mid-50s car tailfins. Dietrich took the Explorer design and rounded the edges. The most unusual aspect is that the guitar is "backward" in that the right-hand (treble) horn of the body is longer than the other. Thus, the original Firebirds were unofficially referred to as "reverse". The Firebird is the first Gibson solid-body to use neck-through construction, wherein the neck extended to the tail end of the body. The neck itself is made up of five plies of mahogany interspersed with four narrow strips of walnut for added strength. Other features were reverse headstock (with the tuners on the treble side), "banjo" tuning keys, and mini-humbucking pickups. The Firebird line went on sale in mid-1963 with four models distinguished by pickup and tailpiece configurations. Unlike the Les Paul and SG line, which used the terms "Junior", "Special", "Standard" and "Custom", the Firebird used the Roman numerals "I", "III" , "V" and "VII". |

The B-45-12, a 12-string edition guitar introduced in 1961, was the first B-45 model guitar available and the first B series overall. The B-45-12 had a mahogany body and neck, spruce top, rosewood fingerboard, and a cherry sunburst finish, and was made with "round" shoulders for the 1961 ? 1962 model year and "square" shoulders until the end of its production in 1979. Starting in 1963, the B-45-12-N was also available as a natural finish edition.

Since it's introduction in 1961, there have been numerous models that have carried the SG name. There have been "Standard" and "Jr" model, as well as the top of the line "Custom". Originally, the guitar was called Gibson Les Paul SG, but the "Les Paul" was dropped in late 1961. The SG has been used by many prominent musicians over the years, most notably Angus Young of AC/DC and Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath. Gibson has offered different variations and finishes on the basic SG body style and continues to manufacture the original designs as well as special editions. |
