Introduced in 1971 and designed with input from Les Paul himself, the Les Paul™ Recording was a forward-thinking model built for studio musicians seeking maximum tonal versatility and clarity. Unlike traditional Les Paul models, the Recording featured low-impedance humbuckers, allowing players to run long cable lengths without signal loss and to plug directly into mixing consoles. Its extensive control layout included separate Treble, Bass, Decade, Phase, and Tone switches, offering an unprecedented level of tonal shaping.
