And the 'holy grail' '59 Sunburst and the jaw-dropping Custom Shop creations of the '90s receive their due as achievements that have never, to this day, been surpassed.This book also covers Les Paul's resurgence - the comeback Grammy Award-winning album with Chet Atkins, the start of a reconnection with the Gibson family.

Bringing this great innovator's story up to date and featuring previously unpublished material from photojournalist Robb Lawrence, "The Modern Era of the Les Paul Legacy" is a must-have for music fans.
