Look at this beautiful guitar. I love Les and Chet together.

cool. I am reading about those pickups, stacked humbuckers. They kind of sound like Mustang pickups.

Thanks for posting the link, very interesting.  8)

It is not too late. Les Paul is still alive and playing.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Paul

Les Paul is a genious.  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

I remember seeing a blurb about his recording setup in this film:

I highly recommend this film, BTW.  :-*

I was fortunate enough to see Chet Atkins open for the Les Paul Trio, then Chet & Les did a total third set.  That was back in the early '90s at the Harrisburg Forum.

Amazing show!
