 In 1974, Gibson put the P-90 pickup in their Les Paul '55, a reissue of the Les Paul Special from that era.It was followed in 1976 by the Les Paul Special double-cutaway (DC) model and in 1978 by the Les Paul Pro (which had an ebony fingerboard with trapezoid inlays).Since the 1970s, the P-90 pickup has seen some success in various models in the Gibson line, mostly through reissues and custom versions of existing models.
