BTW: proof that guitar tone is in the hands...
And BTW he also seems to play a Benedetto lately – with a completely different tone. Ulf Wakenius | Benedetto Guitars
Now playing like him – THAT's the hard part! ;-)

Here's someone you should all know, Gary Boyle, with his band Isotope:

Some Les Paul love...

First Mahavishnu album

If Larry Carlton counts for jazz, here he is playing a Les Paul. Are those P90s? That's a tone with less low end and mids for a neck humbucker pickup. Could be done with eq though.

Pat Martino started out on what would be a Les Paul Standard and switched up to a Les Paul Custom which he played during the early to mid 60's with Jack McDuff and Willis Jackson. His Les Paul Custom was stolen and he switched to archtops etc.

First time posting here, and resurrecting a somewhat old thread. I do play a jazz (or at least I try) on a Les Paul Special and I was interested to see it used by many cats in this thread. I stumbled upon this video of Dickie Thompson playing a Lester Paul with Coleman Hawkins and the Prez in 1958. One more for the list.

I'm intrigued by your username. Any connection to the Boito masterpiece? Asking for a fiend.

Bill Conners with early RTF Great Player !!!! Didnt digs Chicks Scientology Preaching and Zeal for it. His Step It album is one of my favorite fusion albums. Later on he switched to a Gibson L-5.

Why is the Les Paul so highly regarded, outside jazz? I have played only one (the Black Beauty on the album cover below) and only for a few minutes. I could not see the appeal.

Not well known, but excellent nonetheless, Phil Lee on an LP Deluxe with Gilgamesh:
