Rockabilly Revival - Buck Stevens

[Blacksardine]

So why are we playing rockabilly on a gold-top Les Paul? Tone?? Get an ES175 or a 335 but not a solid body Gibson. A solid body Tele, okay, but not a Les Paul!

@Blacksardine Carl Perkins used a goldtop Les Paul, Franny Beecher used a Les Paul Custom with Bill Haley, Chuck Berry used a Les Paul Custom very early on in 1956, Roy Orbison used a Les Paul Custom when he was at Sun records. Les Pauls have been around since 1952 - predates the ES 335 by 6 years, kinda makes sense that some of the rockabilly guys used them. He sounds great on it. I'd prefer a P90 one for this sort of music though....
