June 9, 1915 – August 13, 2009 - you'll be missed, solid body guitar pioneer dude. Sad

Although, I personally never got on with Les Paul guitars - found the neck too wide.

Will be sadly missed

A pioneer, inventor of multitracking and overdubbing.

Always wanted a Les Paul guitar but could never afford one.

R.I.P.

Lester Paulster (or something) was his name before Anglification.
Polish immigrant.
Him and his wife recorded a few ditties.
Interesting character.
Where's my wiki shortcut?
I think he invented the pick up and multi track recording.

Did anyone else look at the thread title and think why on a biking forum are people commiserating over the death of an American transvestite entertainer...

Then thinking; Ahhhh, that's Rue Paul.
