Modern music owes everything to Les Paul. Inventor of the most iconic guitar out there, and invented multitrack recording. He still plays shows every Monday night at the Iridium in New York, even at the age of 92.

As Jimmy Paige said, without Les Paul, there would be no *rocknroll.

I actually just wrote a paper on how Fender and Gibson's competition helped push the development of the electric guitar, and a lot of the reading I did for that paper was, of course, deeply centered on Les Paul and his signature model. The story of how the guitar ended up coming about is a really interesting read.

...but then again I am a guitar nut.

Thanks! Maybe we can get it out of P-qued.

There's a lot of great history between Gibson and Fender. An epic battle I've found myself on both sides of (my dad and I have quite the collection).

>> ^JAPR:
promote Les Paul.

I think the best thing about them competing against each other is that it's given us a huge variety of great guitars to choose from. While my favorite guitar is the Telecaster, I love me the sound of a good Les Paul as well.
