Not sure how many people play or use a Les Paul here but an innovator has passed on!

Shit news, but he lived a good long life. At least he wasn't found dead from a failed strangle wank or something embarassing!!

I heard about this as soon as it happened.... really sad news, the guy was an amazing guitarist (check out some of his old Jazz stuff from the 40s... insane) and is pretty much responsible for the way music was made until computers came about!

RIP Les Paul
