Over 50 guitars are located in the Guitar Gallery: The Quest for Volume within the Museum of Pop Culture. One of them is a 1952 Gibson Les Paul guitar. A nearby placard reads:
The Les Paul is one of the world's great guitars
Brilliant experimental guitarist Les Paul collaborated with the venerable Gibson company in designing this solid-body guitar,
Gibson's carefully thought-out answer to the Fender Broadcaster.
Crafted of heavy mahogany and maple, the rock-solid guitar produces a beautiful tone with notes that hang on forever--the legendary Les Paul "sustain."
Along with the Fender models, the Les Paul would create a measure for every electric guitar to come.
