Tonight when I stick it to the man I will raise my goblet of rock...as a toast to those who rock.

RIP

RIP

He definitely made a huge impact on and in the world of music and guitars. Regardless if you like Les Pauls or not you cannot argue this fact, he made one of the most, if the the most successful guitar companies around, and he deserves respect from every guitar player in existence for all his work.

Plus he lived a damn long time, atleast we got the most out of him we could, I'm not religious so I won't say RIP, but damn do I respect the guy.

I have a Les Paul that I was gonna sell, but in leu of this info, I think I'll keep it.

WHY ARE ALL OF THESE IMPORTANT PEOPLE DYING?! D:

Who's next? Ffs, my hopes are dwindling.

 

[YROC]

Makes me feel a little bad that I chose a Fender Jag over a Les Paul. :O

 

[Dalamari]

RIP

Too bad Gibson are over-pricing ****s or I'd go out and buy a Les Paul

 

[CptStern]

do they still make the Les Paul models?

 

[YROC]

Yeah, I think there is a factory in Nashville, to be honest.

This. What the hell is going on?

 

[Lucid]

I can't say I'm saddened.
He lived a very full life.

 

[Dalamari]

I think Heritage guitars are as close to a classic les paul as you can get

 

[PJ]

The Les Paul model is my favourite design. If i ever get a new electric guitar, to replace my £50 SG copy, it will probably be a black or some kind of dark shade Les Paul.

RIP Les Paul.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

For those about to rock and for Les Paul, no doubt jamming with Jesus right now...




We salute you.

 

[PoeticRocker]

Les pual guitars never have appealed to me. So with that said, I would pick a Fender Jaguar over it anyday. Still respect for the man that designed a guitar that appeals to others. RIP

 

[MJ12]

I guess this means less Paul?

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Brilliant.

 

[Hobostomp]

It was an un-sad death, he was older than dirt.

That said, RIP Les.

 

[Murray]

Um... I mourn the loss of the guy I just learned was the father of the electric guitar.
