RIP Les Paul

Les Paul passed away today at the age of 94. The image to the left is from this obit article in The New York Times [Jennifer Taylor for The New York Times - Les Paul at Carnegie Hall in 2005]. He would have been 90 or so. Amazing.
I originally was not going to put a post up as this site focuses on synths not guitars, however his work did lead to the effects we use with our synths. RIP Les Paul, you will be missed.

Thanks to John Levin for sending in the links and pics.
