Although I'm a strat guy, I have much appreciation for the huge influence the Les Paul guitar has had on many of the songs I love.

There's a man who lived it- until the end, in fact.

Amazing songwriter.

Amazing player.

Amazing entertainer.

Amazing recordist.

Amazing inventor.

The definition of 'original'.

You're gonna be missed, Les. :salute:

This is sad news. He was definetly a very creative soul. Pretty good guitar player as well! :tu RIP Les.

Wow. The first guitar I could identify by looks.

A guitar icon. I was just on Les Paul Blvd. in Wauwautosa, WI last week for the first time.

An absolute mad scientist that did more for recorded music than most can truly understand.

RIP sir, you will be missed.

A legend and honored soul to be sure. George & Leo come to mind as well. George Fullerton passed away earlier in the month and Leo back in 91. Music is good :) Thanks boys and thanks Mary :)

RIP!

He will be missedby many.

True story:

Several years back a man brings his Les Paul guitar into the Blue Parrot in New York where Les was still playing up until this year. The man asked Les Paul to sign his guitar and Les Paul simply wrote "Me" for his autograph on the guitar. Way too cool for words.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Paul.

Your legend will live on forever.

Re: Guitar legend Les Paul dies at age 94
 

Absolutely. A lot of you youngsters may know he invented the electric guitar and invented multi-track recording, but did you know he invented the multi-track recorder itself? Since the machines being made could not do what he heard in his head, he wired an extra "head" into an early reel-to-reel deck.

Rest in peace, Les. There will never be another.

Re: Guitar legend Les Paul dies at age 94
 

He invented the solid-body electric guitar, to be precise.

Re: Guitar legend Les Paul dies at age 94
 

I didn't know he was still around. RIP.

I happen to have one of the Ibanez/Les Paul lawsuit guitars.

Re: Guitar legend Les Paul dies at age 94
 

He was the Godfather of the electric guitar. RIP.

RIP to an all-around musical Icon

Re: Guitar legend Les Paul dies at age 94
 

Not only was he still around, he had a weekly gig in NYC.

I was actually hoping to catch it in the next month or two. :(

I watched a documentary on Les.
You oughta see his house. He is the definition of mad scientist.
I watched the show and thought, "Man, I'd lobve to talk to this old boy."
He was genius. And he loved what he did.
He was a good man, and spent an incredible time on this planet. His contributions are limitless.
