wow LP signed his guitar. LUCKY DUDE. Im sooo jealous.
Really, Les Paul DID make the first solid body electric guitar – it was called “The Log”, because it was just a block of wood with strings and electronics. That was in the early ’40s. Then came the Fender Telecaster in ’49 (which was the first commercially succesful solid-body), the Les Paul in ’52, and so on.
not quite the first solid body guitar was Leo Fender’s telecaster (then called broadcaster) in 1949 the les paul model first appeared in 1952 followed by the the stratocaster in 54 and the gibson SG in 61.
Didn’t invent the electric guitar just the first solid body electric, but never the less the greatest!
I’m pretty sure he would want guitars lie on his grave instead of flowers. RIP.
Wise man
Such a remarkable human being on so many levels. RIP Les
Rest in peace Les.

What a gift to music he was. And a real class act. He sets an example for the self-absorbed music acts of the modern era.

May His Soul Rest In Peace..
well here is the day. =(
R.I.P. =(
It ought to be one hell of a funeral
i reckon slash has said it best when he said, “what a bright example of a full wonderfull life” this man did so much for us music fanatics. you will be missed Les Paul.
Sadly, that day is today…
Les Paul – 1915-2009
he will never die in our hearts… his life is in his guitars
when he dies it will be a day in his history….a very sad one,i dont even want to reckon about it man this guy has been a hero for years
What year in this?
he plays at a jazz place in new york on mondat madhaten he signs after 10 oclock show
hey man. i just did. it was insane. christ he was so awesome.
I met him a few days ago, he is SUCH a amusing guy, really nice man. He’s 93 and still incredible. Truly a virtuoso.
What a class act Les is…I hope one day i can meet him,and have a les paul for him to sign.
He started acoustically in 1930. He invented multitracking in 1940. His first electric guitar, was a railroad track. His mother told him “The day you see a cowboy on a horse playing a railroad track…” Nobody had been working on electric guitars before him. Watch “Les Paul: Chasing Sound” Then, write a new comment.
