We Lost Another. R.I.P......

Guitar legend Les Paul has died of complications from pneumonia, his family announced. He was 94.

He died Thursday at White Plains Hospital in White Plains, N.Y., with his family at his side.

Paul is considered the "father of the electric guitar" for his invention of the solid-body instrument.

The word genius is thrown around too much in this world. But Les Paul and Leo Fender were true geniuses. Simple as that. I own both a '68 Fender Jazz and Les Paul Recording Bass.. They'll have to pry em from my cold dead hands.
