Les Paul was a legendary musician who helped innovate the world of guitar and recording music. He was one of the first to experiment with multitrack recording, and on top of that the Gibson Les Paul guitar model is named after him. He had a very distinguished style and until his death was looked at as a living legend. It’s a shame because he continued to play in a small jazz club every Monday in New York. I was actually thinking of taking the pilgrimage out to watch him sometime. R.I.P.
The real tragedy is how this probably won’t stop Gibson from continuing their line of ridiculously overpriced and over-worshiped guitars of the same name. Pity.
