Well thats like saying "everyone has a fender!" cos most rythmn guitarists have them! Yeah true- les pauls are extremely popular and used is an icon in many cases, but you can tell the difference between the brand new shiny models and the 80's classy ones, reissues, rare models, with new pickups, the ones with more character! The Goldtop was really common a while back, I remember on a Pop music show in the UK there was 3 outa the five performances, and these were with non-guitar orientated music.
