Lester William Posfuss, better known as Les Paul, died today at the age of 94. He was the inventor of the solid-body electric guitar, which essentially equates to him being not only a part of music history, but THE HISTORY in a sense. Imagine your favorite bands. Now imagine them without electric guitars. Everything from shredder math-metal fast-paced in your face solos to tear-jerking big-haired eighties-ballads, would not have been possible without the innovation of Les Paul. He was a guitar enthusiast, music lover, and an awesome person in general . And he will be truly missed.
