I had no idea he was that old.

RIP. The term legendary does the man no justice.

was just talking about him the other day about how old he was and still performs and sounds twice as good as Bob Dylan

I knew how to sing, ya know
And they knew how to pose
And one of 'em had a Les Paul
Heart attack machine

-- All the Young Punks by The Clash

RIP

I think Jesus plays a 1959 LP Standard

RIP Les-The man who gave us the tool that would sculpt rock history for the next century.

Invented the electric guitar..."kind of a big deal."

Had no idea about the overdubbing stuff. Amazing.

RIP to a legend.

Funny how a "blues" guitar became the mainstay for rock musicians - Jimmy Page, Zakk Wylde, Slash, etc.

One of my few regrets was not getting to see Mr. Paul at one of his shows at the Iridium. RIP Mr. Paul and I apologize for not buying one of your guitars in 1978 but instead buying a POS copy. It pains me to this day.
