RIP Les Paul

[Marky]

Les Paul, whose pioneering electric guitars were used by a legion of rock stars, has died at the age of 94.

Mr Paul died from complications of pneumonia in New York, according to Gibson, the firm that sold his guitars.

He is credited with developing one of the first solid-body electric guitars, which went on sale in 1952 and contributed to the birth of rock.

He also developed other influential recording innovations such as multi-track recording and overdubbing.

And he was credited with inventing the eight-track tape recorder.

RIP.

Will always be my favourite guitar even if they are a weighty beast. Think of all the great songs that have been recorde on a les paul. I've only got an Epi Les Junior, but one day, when I've really earned it I will treat myself to the real thing.

RIP.

If it weren't for Eric Clapton then his guitars wouldn't be around today. I know I won't be getting rid of my Les Paul in a hurry.
