Les Paul, the man who created, invented and founded the Gibson Les Paul guitar and the companies empire will finally be honored by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the 13th annual show in Cleveland, OH this coming November.
There will also be a tribute concert for the man titled “Rock and Roll Retrospective: The Les Paul Phenomenon” with artists scheduled to perform there to be announced soon. Of course, I’m sure Les Paul himself will jam on guitar with other fellow Gibson lovers.
Les Paul whose real name is Lester William Polsfuss, is 93 years old and is still playing and building guitars to this day. He continues to make the Gibson Les Paul guitar legacy huge.
The Gibson Les Paul guitar has been obsessed by famous musicians such as Jimmy Page, Slash, Joe Perry, Billy Gibbons, and the list can go on.
