Electric guitar legend Les Paul dies at age 94

[General Zod]

Just wanted mention this for us guitarist and musicians. The man invented one of the greatest electric guitars ever. I am also the proud owner of a Gibson Les Paul(87 studio).

R.I.P a real guitar hero.

I always hated Les Paul's because they weighed too much for my taste.

it's the most iconic symbol of rock... when you pull that out, and put it in your hand, things are serious... when i got my first les paul, i knew that i was here to rock... this wasn't namby-pamby **** anymore. it was real.

you could actually hold one up? I thought you weighed less than one of them.

I never really minded the weight of Les Paul's guitars. The hardwood construction played a big role in the sound and besides, I like a little heft in a guitar. Then again, I came from a bass background, so I was used to lugging around a 10 pound weight.

Either way, a music legend left us. RIP.

yeah.
it feels like you're playing guitar...

Not only that but the guy did so much for studio and recording techniques. He virtually invented the guitar as an instrument of popular music - before him it was largely considered a Spanish specialty instrument. He was a musician's musician.

Err, not to sure about that one. Guitar had been the staple instrument of blues in the United States way before Paul came onto the scene.
