Beck's fascination with the guitar sprang as much from his interest in Les Paul, the man, as from his love of the guitar itself. Jeff Beck ( The Yardbirds/solo) purchased his first Les Paul, a 1959 model, for £150 while a member of The Yardbirds.Martin Barre ( Jethro Tull) has used numerous Gibson models over the course of his career including a sunburst ES-330, a 1958 Les Paul Special and a 1959 Les Paul Standard.Since his death, Gibson has discontinued all Chet Atkins models and Gretsch has resumed the manufacturing and distribution of the Chet Atkins line. Atkins also helped to design several innovative acoustic/electric models including the SST, the CE, and the C.E.C. Chet Atkins switched from Gretsch to Gibson in the mid-1980s and brought with him the popular Country Gentleman and Tennessean model designs.Gibson has also produced two Billie Joe Armstrong Signature Les Paul Junior models (one double cutaway, and one single cutaway) as well as a very limited run of signature acoustic guitars. Billie Joe Armstrong ( Green Day) uses several vintage 1950s single and double cutaway Les Paul Junior models.Duane Allman ( The Allman Brothers Band) used a 1957 Les Paul Goldtop with PAF pickups, a 1959 cherry sunburst Les Paul, a 1958 tobacco sunburst Les Paul and a 1968 cherry SG which he used for slide guitar.The Custom is the guitar he is generally associated with.
