NEW IN PAPERBACK. Introduced in 1952, the Gibson Les Paul has become the world’s second most popular electric guitar, favoured by legendary guitarists such as Gary Moore, Mark Knopfler, Joe Bonamassa, Jimmy Page and Slash. Today, while original models change hands for thousands of pounds, almost identical ‘Epiphone’ and Gibson models are mass-produced for sale worldwide. Any Gibson Les Paul remains a classic instrument and will last a lifetime with the help of this practical ‘how to’ manual, fully updated to include case studies of the most recent Les Paul models.

Born in Paris in 1908, Stephane Grappelli experienced every decade of the jazz century and his story spans an astonishing 77 years, during which time he performed with the great names of jazz: Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie and Oscar Peterson. But it's his performances with Django Reinhardt, for which he is perhaps best remembered. Contains exclusive interviews with Stephane as well as contributions from his family and friends, much newly discovered evidence on both Stephane and Django and many previously unpublished photos. This is a slice of music history, a testament to a man who invented his own style of jazz.
