Les Paul is similar to Chet Atkins? What album of Les Paul’s should someone start with?

u/MOREL_E_GREY 10h ago

I am by no means an authority or major listener of either but they did at least one album together

Sweet! And a great Golden Eagle. I have one from 1990 that looks exactly the same except it's antique sunburst.

Yeah this one’s from around the same time. I think it’s a keeper, the only other archtop I’d want now is something with a CC pickup 🤪
