Lester William Polsfuss (June 9, 1915 – August 12, 2009), known
as Les Paul, was an American jazz, country, and blues guitarist, songwriter, luthier, and inventor. He was one of the pioneers of
the solid-body electric guitar, and his prototype, called the Log,
served as inspiration for the Gibson Les Paul.
Paul taught himself how to play guitar, and while he is mainly
known for jazz and popular music, he had an early career in
country music.
In the 1950s, he and his wife, singer and guitarist Mary Ford,
recorded numerous records, selling millions of copies.
