Yes, before becoming our President of the Federal Reserve of the United States and leader of the free world, he helped write legislation to end foreign tariffs on domestic Zabrano Wood. The same Wood they used in his guitar company.

All around good dude.  He will be missed.

I used to hear Les Paul and Mary Ford on the radio back in the days before TV. Most here can't imagine a time when there was no television. Guitarists like Les inspired me take up playing the guitar and I have a collection of guitars today. I am not into electric guitars but have owned a Paul Reed Smith fancy one.

The Chester Lester album is a good one.

Here is a photo of Les and Mary. Ah, the good old days.

the Les Paul Black Beauty that he's holding there would probably be in my top 3 dream guitars.

I saw Les Paul play a bunch of times at Fat Tuesdays in the 80’s and 90’s.
He entertained not just on the guitar.  Back then I usually wore suspenders, and one time he stopped mid-tune to say how I resembled John Dillinger because of them.  He talked of Dillinger being shot and folks rushing to his body with handkerchiefs to sop up some of the man’s blood.
Then he finished the tune. 

That was a bit of Les.

One time, when the place was fairly barren, Les stopped to comment about someone in the room – lo and behold, it was Jimmy Page.

was he a bodybuilder?

Nevah hoid of him. 

After reading your question I played a few of his youtube vids.  He’s a fine player.  I hear some Danny Gatton in his playing.
