Les Paul. The name immediately conjures up images of legendary musicians such as David Gilmour, Jimmy Page, Brian May, Tony Iommi, Zakk Wylde, Joe Perry etc, all remarkable guitarists who have changed the course of music and the way we look at it. The music, of course, may be immortal but sadly, the man, Lester William Polsfuss, the master musician and brilliant inventor of the Les Paul guitar, was not. He passed away on August 13th, 2009, at the ripe age of 94, having lived through 2 World Wars, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Flower Power Revolution and all the other great historic events of our time.
