a shot i took from a few years back with Lee playing a Les Paul, it is quite a nice guitar, such a classic design

RIP Les.

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.

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

Thanks for all, Mr. Paul.


Rest In Peace.
