Singlecut Above

We realise this issue is a little Stratocaster-heavy, thanks to our main licks feature celebrating the model’s 60th anniversary, so to redress the balance, here’s a treat for Les Paul lovers. Dave Hunter’s latest book, The Gibson Les Paul, is a thoroughly researched and entertaining tribute to the Strat’s main rival, tracing the guitar’s origins and focusing on the guitar stars who have made the Les Paul such a classic. The book is £25, published by Voyageur Press; see www.voyageurpress.com for info.
