This is a guy I have always admired. Les Paul died at the age of 94

Duh....the Gibson Les Paul? Who doesn't know about that guitar??
Plus his music.....pure genius.....definitely a pioneer.

Don't forget 8-track recording and a shitload of other innovations using
MacGyver like skills.

Well, admittedly I mostly know him for the guitar that musicans like
Jimmy Page and Slash used.....<shrugs>. If I recall, I think one of
the guys from Dire Straits also used one.

The Beatles as well. He did stuff like use a flywheel from a Cadillac and the belt from a dentist drill to make a recording machine. Pretty awesome ingenuity.
