During the late 70s gibson les paul standard, custom and deluxe guitars along side fender stratocasters and telecasters were pretty much dominating the market, especially for heavier rock music .
These guitars were great but a little pricy for some , gibson wanted to try a new line of less expensive but good enough to play on stage guitars to commidate the student or the guitar player who didnt want to invest too much on a guitar . (In other words an all around descent guitar).
These gibson guitars were called "the paul" and today are considered classics by many , guitar players today still buy them because they are workhorses ( solid ) , sound good , and are not expensive at all , seen some for sale at $400 ( bargain ) .
In 1978 gibson introduced the "the paul standard " guitar but were actually sold on the market in 1979 , these guitars had a les paul shaped body , 2 exposed coil humbucker pickups , walnut body ( beveled edges sg style see pics ), tune o matic bridges , no pickguards , decal logos a, were made in natural colors , "the paul" on truss rod covers and were Discontinued in 1982 .
In 1980 gibson also introduced the paul firebrand deluxe which was very similar to the paul standard except for a mahogany body , mahogany neck , most firebrand deluxe guitars had "firebrand" on the trust rod cover, mostly made in rough natural finishes and were discontinued in 1986 .
