Thanks for posting this clip. I’ve had my head down and did not see this news today. Les Paul was a great musician, and a Les Paul guitar is a thing of beauty. Seeing one always brings back many fond memories.
Gee I had no idea. May he rest in peace and by god give him a guitar to play amazing music~
