Hotel California by the Eagles is one of the great guitar albums of all time and filled with superlative guitar work from Don Felder and Joe Walsh. Felder played all his electricguitar parts on the title track on his 1959 Les Paul Standard. With the Gibson Custom Don Felder “Hotel California” 1959 Les Paul now released, the guitarist took time out to talk to Gibson.com about that seminal album, discuss that very special guitar, and tell the stories behind the intro and solo on the classic song, “Hotel California.” (thanks to gibson.com)
