gtblum Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I saw that earlier today and clicked on it thinking it might have something to do with Les Paul inventing the electric guitar pickup and the electric guitar. RIP Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
