Les Paul Guitar Confusion?
Im doing a history fair project on the electric guitar, and I know Les Paul was the inventor of the actual first electric guitar.
The Fair’s theme is Innovation in History: Impact and change
My teacher told me to do the guitar because I’m interested in music and this made a huge impact in musical history. Now I’m confused because while doing research I’ve come up with Epiphone Les Paul and Gibson Les Paul. Which one do I work with? Or do I do Les Paul by himself without a company name and the simple invention of the guitar? Or should I do the company name along with the invention? The names do make an impact but it’s the guitar I want to display information about.
Feel free to add your own thoughts about this project; it’s a display bored that’s 6ft tall. My family owns a music business and I was going to add a guitar to the display. Also, what are the colors of Les Paul?
