can't say it was unfair, he was around for awhile.

It's what I play, rest in peace.

Nice long innings.

RIP Les.

atsonicpark · 08.13.2009, 01:11 PM

My friend has a Les Paul and I play on it quite regularly. I love it. It's such a perfectly designed guitar, really. Such a pure instrument. This is so sad. Fuck.

Andy Kessler died too.

Farewell father of fretless wonder.

infinitemusic · 08.13.2009, 01:54 PM

Too bad, but he had a long, extremely influential life. That makes me wonder is L Fender still alive? I like his guitars better. Never found one I liked more than a telecaster.

VacuumChild · 08.13.2009, 05:15 PM

So, a stronger reason for wishing to have a LP.

Thanks for all, Mr. Paul.

Rest In Peace.
