Yup, the guy that is responsible for the electric guitar as we know it today. he also built the first ever 8 track tape deck. In 1948, he was in a near fatal car wreck that shattered his right elbow. he instructed the surgeons to set hid arm at an angle that would allow him to continue playing his guitar. les paul & mary ford recorded together pioneering a technique known as over dubbing. His innovated design work for the Gibson company has made his instruments a by word for many rock artists including Eric Clapton & Chet Atkins..Even at the age of 88 he is still rockin on.. Thanks for the sounds Les & Happy Birthday
