One could argue the case for Paul Bigsby who built a guitar to Merle Travis' sketch, leading to Fender which triggered Gibson to build the Les Paul, and indeed Travis himself with early multitracking (unnecessary in his case) and the first pop videos. The '40's and '50's had some very inventive people. -- Bill |

The thing is a Les Paul sounds the same whoever plays it. A fender sounds like its 'X' playing.. A les paul is easy to play, but leaves no room for personal quirks IMHO. A start? Its as good as the person playing it. If you list all the 'guitar heroes' 90% are strat men. |
