RIP.

How many guitarists have there been who've used his awesome instrument? Too many.

The Gibson Les Paul is a guitar that lends itself to everything. I play strat-style guitars myself but the sound off the body off a LP is so rich and sumptuous, if it weren't so damn heavy!

So sad, a brilliant musician and entertainer

I always remember when I was a kid going to the doctors tent where there was a wind up record player and about ten records. There was one record called "The world is waiting for the sunrise" which I would play over and over again because I loved the sound of the guitar on it. I didn't know till much later that it was played by Les Paul and what a genius he was. I am really sad to hear that he has passed away.
