Why do guitar players like Les Pauls?

[goldtop0]

It helps that they're cheaper?

Yeah I'm sure price must have something to do with their popularity

Kinda like comparing a Samick to a PRS

Yes it did back in the day but not now.......Strats/Teles are as costly as LPs.
Slash was the last major LP user that lead a resurgence in their popularity.........Strats have been there all along since the mid '50s.

I'm sure Bonamassa has helped move a few LP's this last decade

I reckon it’s more likely the opposite.

Unless you’re talking about his own collection?
