1958 is a landmark year in guitar history, particularly because it marked the introduction of the Gibson Les Paul Standard. This model featured a solid mahogany body with a carved maple top and two humbucking pickups, creating a warmer, thicker tone that helped define the sound of rock, blues, and jazz for decades. The 1958 Les Paul is highly prized by collectors and players alike for its build quality and iconic status. Overall, 1958 represents a golden era of guitar innovation that still influences modern instruments today.
Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibrations into an electrical signal, which is then amplified. Unlike acoustic guitars, they rely on amplification for volume and tone shaping, making them highly versatile in genres like rock, blues, jazz, and metal. Electric guitars come in many body styles—solid, semi-hollow, and hollow—and feature different pickup configurations, neck types, and hardware. From smooth clean tones to aggressive distortion, they offer a wide sonic range, making them the backbone of modern guitar music.
The Flying V is one of the most iconic electric guitar shapes, originally introduced by Gibson in 1958. Known for its sharp, futuristic design and powerful tone, it’s long been favoured by rock and metal guitarists looking to stand out both visually and sonically. While it wasn’t a big hit at first, the Flying V found its place in the hands of legends like Albert King, Jimi Hendrix, and later metal icons. Its distinctive look isn’t just for show—the design allows great access to upper frets and has a surprisingly comfortable balance when played standing.
Here at GPAS we have everything guitar from music to guitars amps pedals and stuff. The guitar is a versatile stringed instrument played across countless genres, from rock and blues to classical and jazz.
Typically featuring six strings, it produces sound by vibrating strings stretched over a wooden body or solid frame, amplified acoustically or electronically.
We have Guitars in all types, including acoustic, electric, bass guitars and electro-acoustic, each offering different tonal characteristics and playing styles. For many, the guitar is both a tool of expression and a lifelong obsession—lending itself equally to raw power, subtle nuance, and everything in between.
A left-handed guitar is specially built for players who strum with their left hand and fret with their right. Unlike simply flipping a right-handed guitar, a true left-handed model has reversed components like the nut, bridge, and controls, ensuring proper intonation and playability. They’re often harder to find, with fewer models and colour options available, making the hunt part of the journey for many lefty players. Despite the challenge, playing a guitar that’s built specifically for your dominant hand can make all the difference in comfort, technique, and expression.
