Les Paul (born Lester William Polfuss on June 9, 1915 died August 13, 2009[1]) was an American jazz guitarist and inventor. He is a pioneer in the development of the solid-body electric guitar which "made the sound of rock and roll possible."[2] His many recording innovations include overdubbing, delay effects such as "sound on sound" and tape delay, phasing effects, and multitrack recording.

bummer! he was really an important guy, one of the inspirations for the whole studio pop music of the what late 60's?
