    For those that didn't know, Les Paul passed away today. He was 94 years young.
    Not only is he famous for his guitar designs, he wasn't a bad axe slinger himself either ;) Sad that the media goes nuts if a current artists dies or divorces or has a baby or whatever. But he gets very little coverage, and had and will continue to have a MUCH larger impact on music than ANY single artist.
    Thanks for the wonderful guitars LP, you will be missed.
    Couple of pics of my custom shop LP:

    Never did play myself...but that doesn't mean I don't know who he is or what he did ;)

    Heck, I hope I can make it to 94.
