PrintLes Paul, mastermind of the solid body guitar died today, at age 94. He will forever be remembered as not only one of the greatest guitarists of all time, but the genius mind behind the revolutionary solid body guitar. WIthout his ingenuity, who knows what Jimmy Page would have played? Or what would've come of the Stratocaster. Many may not appreciate his music, but everyone should appreciate his dedication towards developing the guitar further, and creating the sound of "rock 'n roll."
Thank you for all of your efforts, you were a great man and an inspiration to everyone who picked up a guitar.
Les Paul (June 9, 1915 – August 13, 2009)

This is indeed a sad day.

yeah dude, srsly
there’s a video floating around somewhere of him playing like four days before he died. I’m glad he didn’t suffer though.
