Most of you probably won't have a clue who he was, but he was an insane guitarist and a legend to the music industry.

No doubt Gibson will bring out a new Les Paul model and take advantage :rolleyes:

RIP

I only knew him by a Les Paul guitar, I never really knew of his talents or anything, but mainly because I don't play guitar. He was an inspiration to alot of my guitarist friends though :)

RIP
