From his start with country hell-raiser David Allan Coe to his 18 years with the Allman Brothers Band to the heavy and melodic improvisation of Gov’t Mule, Warren Haynes has blazed a trail that draws on the best of American music. With the voice of an old-school soul shooter and the guitar prowess of a legend, Haynes is both a formidable band leader and blistering sideman who cares deeply about all things musical. Throughout it all Haynes has remained primarily a Gibson player, alternating between one of his many beloved Les Pauls, ES-335s and non-reverse Firebirds, and the Warren Haynes Les Paul Standard is a true testament to the brilliance of the man ranked 23rd on Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.
