Les Paul saw a need and invented something to fill it
- phugoid 17y agoWhether it fits HN or not, thanks for this. The photo where Les Paul is holding his guitar fresh off the assembly line brought a tear to my eye. It just captures the pride and excitement. Glad to hear the old man is still rocking.

- IsaacSchlueter 17y agoAgreed. If Les Paul was 60 years younger, he'd have been into computers, no doubt. He's very much the image of the hacker mentality. I love seeing the inventive mind at work, even if it's in another field.
- delano 17y agoThere's a great picture of him from around the time of the first production run holding his guitar with two broken arms. I spent a few minutes looking for it but I couldn't find it.
