Remembering Les Paul

Thought it was fitting to pull this out again...






Les Paul played with and made instruments for a who's-who of top axemen, including Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Bruce Springsteen, Jeff Beck, Joe Satriani, Eddie Van Halen, Paul McCartney, Richie Sambora, Keith Urban, Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler, ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons and Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, along the way racking up Grammys and a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Sambora hailed him as "the father of the electric guitar [and] to me he's just a dear, dear friend."
