That's Les Paul to many of us. This update is a little late but it's important to me. Les Paul died on 13th August from complications of severe pneumonia. When I heard this news, I was in the cab on the way home with my darling. Brian Richmond was on duty & it was GOLD 90FM...Les Paul was a guitar innovator, moved to address the player's needs more than making the singlecut design popular per se. I'm not a keen Les Paul fan but the Les Paul model is an important development in guitar technology & more importantly, it's a redefinition of guitar tone when Fender was more prominent at that point in music history.
RIP: Lester William Polsfuss, 1915 - 2009
