excerpt from Wikipedia:

Lester William Polsfuss, known as Les Paul (June 9, 1915 – August 13, 2009) was an American innovator, inventor, musician and songwriter. He was a pioneer in the development of the solid-body electric guitar which "made the sound of rock and roll possible".  He is credited with many recording innovations, including overdubbing (also known as sound on sound), delay effects such as tape delay, phasing effects, and multitrack recording.

Les Paul was the inventor of the "Gibson Les Paul Guitar" as pictured.  Several Les Paul guitars are in the Dirt Cheap!!! guitar arsenal.   He was also a great jazz guitar player and had many hit recordings in the 30 and 40's.  Many thanks Les for your innovations and inventions.
