Les Paul has moved on to the next realm, his 94 year--old body could not deal with this bout of pneumonia.
Eteranl gratitude to the man who introduced a young mind to the magic of the electric guitar, a long time ago.

He left his mark for sure. Feel a bit guilty not having ever bought one of his great inventions
...but a LP is still on my wants list

Rest in peace Les Paul. Thanks for the music and your guitar. I have yet to own one but I might end up with one or a copy by Tradition.

This is truly a sad day. But, he hung in there 'til the end. RIP LP.

Too bad all the young people that own Les Pauls and don't know who he is. Look at all those double signature Les Pauls, Jimmy Page Les Paul, Gary Moore Les Paul, Joe Perry Les Paul, will Gibson now market a Les Paul Les Paul to cash in?????? Sorry I couldn't help but go there.

I always thought it odd to make a signature guitar from a signature guitar, as well. But, the masses bought into it.
