"The music industry has lost a giant! I'm very saddened by the news of Les Paul's passing.

I was lucky enough to have known Les as a friend, and admired him as a musician and innovator.

He forever changed the way we listen to music."

-- Ace Frehley

Yes I was saddened to hear of the loss of such a great artist. Not a Les Paul but the only art I have to offer, my Kief guitar:

I was inspired by Les Paul to design and construct my own guitar. RIP
