Who Was Les Paul?

The Gibson Les Paul, along with the Fender Stratocaster, is on of the world's most recognisable and iconic electric guitars. But who exactly is Les Paul?
Born Lester Polfus, Paul was working as a Jazz and blues musician in the Thirties but found himself incresingly dissatisfied with the primitive electric guitars on offer. Early attempts resulted, in 1941, in one of the world's first solid-body electric guitars. In 1951, the Gibson Guitar Corporation built a guiter based on Paul's designs and persuaded him to endorse it. Gibson has not looked back since, and its guitars are the instruments of choice for musicians past and present, from Jimi Hendrix to Slash of Guns N' Roses. Now 91 Les Paul is still to be found gigging weekly at a New York jazz club.gibson.com
